Measure Selection: Notions of Rationality and Representation Independence
نویسنده
چکیده
We take another look at the general problem of selecting a preferred probability measure among those that comply with some given constraints. The dominant role that entropy maximization has obtained in this context is questioned by argu ing that the minimum information principle on which it is based could be supplanted by an at least as plausible "likelihood of evidence" prin ciple. We then review a method for turning given selection functions into representation indepen dent variants, and discuss the tradeoffs involved in this transformation.

Collective rationality in bargaining
Roth (1977) axiomatized the Nash (1950) bargaining solution without Pareto optimality. His result is considered an improvement on Nash’s original one, since it dispenses with notions of collective rationality. Several variants of Roth’s result have been obtained in a line of subsequent works. However, all of them rely on Nash’s (1950) independence axiom. Whether or how collective rationality ca...

متن کاملFeature Selection Using Multi Objective Genetic Algorithm with Support Vector Machine
Different approaches have been proposed for feature selection to obtain suitable features subset among all features. These methods search feature space for feature subsets which satisfies some criteria or optimizes several objective functions. The objective functions are divided into two main groups: filter and wrapper methods. In filter methods, features subsets are selected due to some measu...

Text clustering and classification are two main tasks of text mining. Feature selection plays the key role in the quality of the clustering and classification results. Although word-based features such as term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) vectors have been widely used in different applications, their shortcoming in capturing semantic concepts of text motivated researches to use...

BOUNDED RATIONALITY: rationality as exhibited by decision makers of limited abilities. The ideal of RATIONAL DECISION MAKING formalized in RATIONAL CHOICE THEORY, UTILITY THEORY, and the FOUNDATIONS OF PROBABILITY requires choosing so as to maximize a measure of expected utility that reflects a complete and consistent preference order and probability measure over all possible contingencies.
