An agent is asked to assess a real-valued variable Y_p based on certain characteristics X_p = (X_p-super-1, ..., X_p-super-m), and on a database consisting of X_i-super-1, ... X_i-super-m, Y_i) for i = 1, ..., n. A possible approach to combine past observations of X and Y with the current values of X...

Assume we are asked to predict a real-valued variable yt based on certain characteristics , and on a database consisting of for i=1,...,n. Analogical reasoning suggests to combine past observations of x and y with the current values of x to generate an assessment of y by similarity-weighted...

People reason about real-estate prices both in terms of general rules and in terms of analogies to similar cases. We propose to examine empirically which mode of reasoning fits the data better. To this end, we develop the statistical techniques required for the estimation of the case-based...
