Evaluation of Econometric Models of Adaptive Learning by Predictive Measures
Chernov, Gregory - 2020
Game-theoretic models of learning are hard to study even in the laboratory setting due to econometric and practical concerns (like the limited length of an experimental session).In particular, as the simulations by (Salmon, 2001) show, in a cross-model (or "blind'') testing of several models,...
