Background More than 50 million people worldwide live with various types of dementia, which incorporates a progressive decline in patients' cognition. Early detection dementia older adults is crucial and helps them apply for intervention programs. Numerous assessment methods have been developed to be used clinical practice help clinicians accurately detect diagnose its types. The recent advance...

Objective Measurement-based care tools in psychiatry are useful for symptom monitoring and detecting response to treatment, but methods quick objective measurement lacking especially acute psychosis. The aim of this study was explore potential language markers, detected by natural processing (NLP) methods, as a means objectively measure the severity psychotic symptoms schizophrenia an clinical ...

We explore an equilibrium model of games where behavior is given by logit response functions, but payoff responsiveness and beliefs about others’ responsiveness are heterogeneous. We study two substantively different ways of extending quantal response equilibrium (QRE) to this setting: (1) Heterogeneus QRE, where players share identical correct beliefs about the distribution of payoff responsiv...

This paper develops a formal test for consistency of players’ behavior in a series of games with the quantal response equilibrium (QRE). The test exploits a characterization of the equilibrium choice probabilities in a QRE as the gradient of a convex function, which thus satisfies the cyclic monotonicity inequalities. Our testing procedure utilizes recent econometric results for moment inequali...

Sponsored search auctions (SSAs) have attracted much research attention in recent years and different equilibrium concepts have been studied to understand advertisers’ behaviors. However, the assumption that bidders are perfectly rational in these studies is unrealistic in the real world. In this work, we investigate the quantal response equilibrium (QRE) for SSAs. QRE is powerful in characteri...

Apart from formerly glaciated areas, woolly mammoth remains are abundant in the surficial sediments of the mid and high latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere, including western Europe, northern and eastern Asia, Alaska and the Yukon. There are probably millions of mammoths buried in the permafrost of Siberia alone. The mammoths are found with a wide variety of other mammals, large and small, man...

When a large group of pedestrians moves around a corner, most pedestrians do not follow the shortest path, which is to stay as close as possible to the inner wall, but try to minimize the travel time. For this they accept to move on a longer path with some distance to the corner, to avoid large densities and by this succeed in maintaining a comparatively high speed. In many models of pedestrian...
