Heuristics within Heuristics

2020
Since the suppositional heuristic is quite abstract, in practice further applications of heuristics may be needed to implement it. One strategy is to partition the relevant space of possibilities into separate, comparatively homogeneous cells, apply the suppositional heuristic to each, and combine the results.

The possession heuristic

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2014
This chapter for the forthcoming book, The Law and Economics of Possession (Yun-chien Chang, ed), explores the law of possession as an application of a heuristic (a simple decision making strategy devised to solve complex problems, part of System 1 thinking in Daniel Kahneman’s famous formulation).

Heuristic on Economics [PDF]

open access: possibleSSRN Electronic Journal, 2011
In this paper we have presented arguments for heuristics on economics research. In particular, have been important aspects that show how the tradition of the theory, to make principle simplicity to represent many empirical data of experience or information, was one of the goals set by the fathers of the discipline: Adam Smith, John Stuart Mill, and ...

The Duration Heuristic

Journal of Consumer Research, 2006
The duration heuristic refers to the tendency to evaluate services based on their duration rather than on their content. We propose that consumers rely on the duration heuristic because it simplifies the evaluation process. In particular, the duration heuristic is most likely to be seen when the duration of the service experience is evaluable relative ...

Heuristics-in-use: Toward a practice theory of organizational heuristics

Technological Forecasting and Social Change, 2021
Although prior research has repeatedly emphasized that organizational heuristics unfold their proclaimed “superior” outcomes only through the very use of these rules-of-thumb, we know little about how actors actually use organizational heuristics “in practice”.

Heuristic and Meta-Heuristic Optimization

2016
This chapter deals with the fundamentals of the optimization. The concepts of stochastic optimization and how the stochastic optimization is advantageous over the deterministic approaches are described in Sect. 3.2. Heuristic and meta-heuristic optimization techniques are defined in Sect.

Moral Heuristics

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2003
with respect to questions of fact, people use heuristics – mental short-cuts, or rules of thumb, that generally work well, but that also lead to systematic errors. people use moral heuristics too – moral short-cuts, or rules of thumb, that lead to mistaken and even absurd moral judgments. these judgments are highly relevant not only to morality, but to

The British Journal for the Philosophy of Science, 2016
Abstract Despite the increasing recognition that heuristics may be involved in myriad scientific activities, much about how to use them prudently remains obscure.

The heuristic programming/heuristic DENDRAL project

ACM SIGART Bulletin, 1973
The Heuristic Programming Project at Stanford University is an interdisciplinary research effort. The problems of interest to this project include, besides the major effort in the Heuristic DENDRAL set of programs, determination of protein structures from X-ray crystallographic data, work in automatic programming and automatic debugging of programs ...

Heuristics

2008
This chapter describes the main heuristics and metaheuristics that were proposed to approximate the Resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP). The chapter reviews the literature and proposes a unifying framework based on the concepts of events and resource flows for the two main constructive algorithms : the parallel and the serial ...
