Dynamics of Inductive Inference in a Unified Framework

Gilboa, Itzhak - 2011

We present a model of inductive inference that includes, as special cases, Bayesian reasoning, case-based reasoning, and rule-based reasoning. This unified framework allows us to examine, positively or normatively, how the various modes of inductive inference can be combined and how their...

From Fault Tree to Credit Risk Assessment : A Case Study

Gatfaoui, Hayette - 2009

Reliability has been largely applied to industrial systems in order to study the various possibilities of systems … yielding any system's fault allows for a better control of systems' safety. To this end, reliability is composed of a static … explains that fault tree is one alternative approach of reliability, which matches default risk analysis in a simple framework …

Rule-Based and Case-Based Reasoning in Housing Prices

Gayer, Gabrielle - 2004

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

Interpreting Prediction Market Prices

Williams, Jared - 2017

Prediction market prices are often used as estimates of the probability of outcomes in future elections and referendums. I argue that this practice is often flawed, and I develop a model that empiricists can use to partially identify probabilities from prediction market prices. In the special...

Do Audits Affect Voluntary Tax Compliance?

Manhire, Jack - 2016

The IRS's audit enforcement policy is based on the principle that audits deter taxpayers from cheating and therefore increase voluntary tax compliance. For more than forty years, however, there has been considerable debate over whether higher audit rates actually contribute to increased...

On the Modelling of Enterprise Level Crop Yields

Angelova, Denitsa - 2019

A model for the approximation of enterprise-level crop yields under climate change is proposed which integrates economic and agronomic notions of crop production. The model is potentially useful to policy makers, since it could provide an estimate of the yield volume that can be expected to be...

Forbidden Zones and Biases for the Expectation : New Mathematical Results for Behavioral and Social Sciences

Harin, Alexander - 2018

A forbidden zones theorem, mathematical approach and model are proposed in the present article. In particular, the approach supposes that people decide as if there were some biases of the expectations of measurement data. The article is motivated by the need of a theoretical support for the...
