We analyze data from the legislative bargaining experiments reported in Frechette, Kagel, and Lehrer (2003), Frechette, Kagel, and Morelli (2005a,b), and Drouvelis, Montero, and Sefton (2010) in order to investigate the extent to which the observed deviations from the theoretical predictions can be explained by imperfect best response, in combination with different assumptions about correct (QR...

In this interesting paper Professor Nikiforov reviewed the current state of quickest change detection/isolation problem. In our discussion of his paper we focus on the concerns and the opportunities of the subfield of quickest change detection, or more generally, sequential methodologies, in the modern

khuzestan province in the south west of iran having several seasonal and permanent lagoons which are shelter for domestic and migratory birds including, fish-eating birds. this research study was carried out to find the intestinal helminth parasites of birds in this ecosystem and evaluation of their medically importance with emphasis on heterophyid trematodes. for these reasons, the total of 37...

The Logit version of Quantal Response Equilibrium (QRE) predicts that equilibrium behavior in games will vary systematically with payoff magnitudes, if all other factors are held constant (including the Nash equilibria of the game). We explore this in the context of a set of asymmetric 2×2 games with unique totally mixed strategy equilibria. The data provide little support for the payoff magnit...
