Partially Dominant Choice
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes and analyzes a model of context-dependent choice with stable but incomplete preferences that is based on the idea of partial dominance: An alternative is chosen from a menu if it is not worse than anything in the menu and is also better than something else. This choice procedure provides a simple explanation of the attraction/decoy effect. It reduces to rational choice when preferences are complete in two ways that are made precise. Some preference identification and choice consistency properties associated with this model are analyzed, and certain ways in which its predictions differ from those of other recently proposed models of the attraction effect are also discussed.

Nash implementation with partially honest individuals
We investigate the problem of Nash implementation in the presence of “partially honest” individuals. A partially honest player is one who has a strict preference for revealing the true state over lying when truthtelling does not lead to a worse outcome (according to preferences in the true state) than that which obtains when lying. We show that when there are at least three individuals, the pre...
متن کاملPartially Tests during Course Improves the Students Retention of Renal Physiology Knowledge
Background: Longevity of basic medical sciences is a major concern of medical educators and physicians. It has been shown that different learning styles can affect the half-life of the material. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of partially tests during renal physiology course on "the student’s retention of renal physiology knowledge" and "knowledge loss" in pharmacy and medical students...
متن کاملPartially-ranked Choice Models for Data-driven Assortment Optimization
The assortment of products carried by a store has a crucial impact on its success. However, finding the right mix of products to attract a large portion of the customers is a challenging task. Several mathematical models have been proposed to optimize assortments. In particular, rank-based choice models have been acknowledged for representing well high-dimensional product substitution effects, ...
متن کاملA Borda count for partially ordered ballots
The application of the theory of partially ordered sets to voting systems is an important development in the mathematical theory of elections. Many of the results in this area are on the comparative properties between traditional elections with linearly ordered ballots and those with partially ordered ballots. In this paper we present a scoring procedure, called the partial Borda count, that ex...
متن کاملDrosophila-host genetic control of susceptibility to Drosophila C virus.
Interactions between Drosophila C virus (DCV) and its natural host, Drosophila melanogaster, were investigated using 15 geographical population samples infected by intraabdominal inoculation. These strains derived from natural populations of D. melanogaster differed in susceptibility to the DCVc. One strain was "partially tolerant". Isofemale lines obtained from one susceptible and one partiall...
