Choice under uncertainty

Slide 1

A heading

One thing this example illustrates is how the

style option is good for printing slides two-up, for distribution to a seminar audience or class, or just for proofreading.

Candidate Theory #3: Expected utility

Let

Z

be an arbitrary set of outcomes. Let

u : Z → R

be a utility representation of the DM’s preferences over the elements of

Z

as certain outcomes. (I.e.,

u(y) ≥ u(z)

iff

y ≥ z.)

Slide 4

Expected utility & the St. Petersburg Paradox

This can get around even St. Petersburg Paradox, because we don’t require that utility be linear in money: Prize

The second model assumes that each extant species at the present time is sampled with a given probability, which has been called f -sampling (Nee, May, and Harvey, 1994) or

We tested numerically the performance of the corrected likelihood formula versus the incorrect likelihood resulting from applying the D-E framework to mapped rate shifts for

The inference model that had the highest evidence (as shown in Table 5.9) was the inference model with a JC nucleotide substitution model, an RLN clock model and a Yule tree model

In this chapter we first identified critical aspects of current models, then we presented the correct analytical expressions for the likelihood in the case of a phylogeny featuring:

In dit hoofdstuk hebben we eerst cruciale as- pecten van bestaande modellen geïdentificeerd, daarna presenteerden we de cor- recte analytische expressies voor de likelihood in

This is due to the fact that currently implemented tree priors in Bayesian phylogenetic tools, such as BEAST2 (Bouckaert et al., 2019), MrBayes (Huelsenbeck and Ronquist, 2001)
