Dynamically consistent updating of multiple prior beliefs - An algorithmic approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper develops algorithms for dynamically consistent updating of ambiguous beliefs in the maxmin expected utility model of decision making under ambiguity. Dynamic consistency is the requirement that ex-ante contingent choices are respected by updated preferences. Such updating, in this context, implies dependence on the feasible set of payoff vectors available in the problem and/or on an ex-ante optimal act for the problem. Despite this complication, the algorithms are formulated concisely and are easy to implement, thus making dynamically consistent updating operational in the presence of ambiguity.

BeeID: intrusion detection in AODV-based MANETs using artificial Bee colony and negative selection algorithms
Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are multi-hop wireless networks of mobile nodes constructed dynamically without the use of any fixed network infrastructure. Due to inherent characteristics of these networks, malicious nodes can easily disrupt the routing process. A traditional approach to detect such malicious network activities is to build a profile of the normal network traffic, and then iden...
متن کاملDynamically Consistent Preferences with Quadratic Beliefs
This article characterizes a family of preference relations over uncertain prospects that (a) are dynamically consistent in the Machina sense and, moreover, for which the updated preferences are also members of this family and (b) can simultaneously accommodate Ellsbergand Allais-type paradoxes. Replacing the “mixture independence” axiom by “mixture symmetry,” proposed by Chew, Epstein, and Seg...
متن کاملBelief Updating and Argument Evaluation
Studies of how evidence affects beliefs sometimes show belief polarization in response to mixed evidence. However, the nature of the mental processes leading to change in opinion is up for debate. Different accounts of how people process evidence and then update their beliefs make different predictions, especially about one-sided evidence, which is rarely examined. We presented subjects with mu...
متن کاملKolmogorov Complexity and Absolute Continuity in Agent Modeling
In multi-agent environments it may be advantageous for an agent to model the decision-making of another agent in order to predict its behavior as accurately as possible. A convenient model may be a list of parameters that influence the other agent’s decision-making process. In realistic cases these parameters, for example rewards and beliefs, are not directly observable. Therefore, an agent may...
متن کاملIntersection Bounds, Robust Bayes, and Updating Ambiguous Beliefs
This paper develops multiple-prior Bayesian inference for a set-identi ed parameter whose identi ed set is constructed by an intersection of two identi ed sets. We formulate an econometricians practice of "adding an assumption" as "updating ambiguous beliefs." Among several ways to update ambiguous beliefs proposed in the literature, we consider the DempsterShafer updating rule (Dempster (1968...
