We consider a system with an evolving state that can be stopped at any time by decision maker (DM), yielding state-dependent reward. The DM does not observe the except for limited number of monitoring times, which he must choose, in conjunction suitable stopping policy, to maximize his Dealing these types problems, arise variety applications from healthcare finance, often requires excessive amo...

This paper obtains a measure-theoretic restriction that must be satisfied by prior probability measure for posteriors to computed in limited time. Specifically, it is shown the factorizable. Factorizability set of independence conditions events sample space allows agents calculate using only subset dataset. The result has important implications models mathematical economics and finance rely on ...

The need an domains controversial views (morals, philosophy, politics, and religion), advantages endorsing permissivism across these domains.

men completed a heart-rate-limited (HRL) protocol and 107 completed a symptom-limited (SXL) protocol 3 weeks after the acute event. In the HRL protocol, effort terminated at a heart rate of 130 beats/min in the absence of a limiting symptom, exertional hypotension or ventricular tachycardia. Peak heart rate was not an end point in the SXL protocol. Despite a higher peak heart rate and work load...
