Guessing Games

چکیده
In a guessing game, players guess the value of a random real number selected using some probability density function. The winner may be determined in various ways; for example, a winner can be a player whose guess is closest in magnitude to the target, or a winner can be a player coming closest without guessing higher than the target. We study optimal strategies for players in these games and determine some of them for two, three, and four players.

Positive Expectations Feedback Experiments and Number Guessing Games as Models of Financial Markets
In repeated number guessing games choices typically converge quickly to the Nash equilibrium. In positive expectations feedback experiments, however, convergence to the equilibrium price tends to be very slow, if it occurs at all. Both types of experimental designs have been suggested as modeling essential aspects of financial markets. In order to isolate the source of the differences in outcom...
متن کاملTowards a Multimodal Taxonomy of Dialogue Moves for Word-Guessing Games
We develop a taxonomy for guesser and clue-giver dialogue moves in word guessing games. The taxonomy is designed to aid in the construction of a computational agent capable of participating in these games. We annotate the word guessing game of the multimodal Rapid Dialogue Game (RDG) corpus, RDG-Phrase, with this scheme. The scheme classifies clues, guesses, and other verbal actions as well as ...
متن کاملThe Multiple Word Guessing Game
In this paper I bring together a number of insights in the field of semiotic dynamics. Inspired by recent advances in the understanding of the naming game and by previous attempts to define stages in the formation of lexical languages, we define two classes of language game problems called the single and multiple word guessing games. By being more complex than naming games, but not as complex a...
متن کاملExtrapolation in Games of Coordination and Dominance Solvable Games
We study extrapolation between games in a laboratory experiment. Participants in our experiment first play either the dominance solvable guessing game or a Coordination version of the guessing game for five rounds. Afterwards they play a 3x3 normal form game for ten rounds with random matching which is either a game solvable through iterated elimination of dominated strategies (IEDS), a pure Co...
متن کاملImperfect Learning and Error Cascades in Sequential Guessing Games: An Experiment∗
This paper reports on an experiment designed to analyze information revelation in sequential guessing games. We observe a remarkable frequency of equilibrium outcomes. Deviations from the equilibrium are explained by learning considerations. By means of applying panel data econometric techniques, we find the presence of error cascades, which represent the situation where the deviation from lear...
