Expected utility, independence and continuity
In this paper, we provide two novel expected utility theorems by suitably adjustingthe independence and continuity axioms. Our first theorem characterizes expectedutility preferences using weak versions of the independence axiom (with varyingmixture ...

A Systems‐Level Approach to Address Risks and Ethics in Artificial Intelligence Systems
Systems Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing the world, from completely controlling routine or mundane tasks like text and image generation, to powering advanced algorithms that control critical systems. The recent advances in generative AI quickly overwhelmed multiple industries from education to finance as first adopters rushed (and ...

On the complexity of rationalizing behavior [PDF]
We study the complexity of rationalizing choice behavior. We do so by analyzing two polar cases, and a number of intermediate ones. In our most structured case, that is where choice behavior is defined in universal choice domains and satisfies the "weak ...

Incompleteness, Independence, and Negative Dominance
, 2023 This paper introduces the axiom of Negative Dominance, stating that if a lottery $f$ is strictly preferred to a lottery $g$, then some outcome in the support of $f$ is strictly preferred to some outcome in the support of $g$.

Systems Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Mission Engineering is maturing as a Systems Engineering discipline, yet adoption of its common frameworks remains stratified. This study examines whether selective adoption is observable across ME scholarship and develops a framework to address identified barriers.

A Remark on Bargaining and Non-Expected Utility [PDF]
We show that a bargaining game of alternating offers with exogenous risk of breakdown and played by dynamically consistent non-expected utility maximizers is formally equivalent to Rubinstein's (1982) game with time preference.

TESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract Reflective teaching (RT) is influenced by a range of cognitive, pedagogical, and psycho‐affective factors in second/foreign language (L2) education. However, empirical evidence on the influence of psycho‐affective variables on teachers' reflectivity remains limited.

Preference Reversals without the Independence Axiom.
The preference reversal phenomenon was believed to be inconsistent with the transitivity axiom of decision theory. However, recent theoretical papers have demonstrated that the preference reversals that were observed in earlier experiments could be ...

Teaching Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract Statistical hypothesis testing (SHT) is widely employed across numerous scientific disciplines, and a clear understanding of its underlying logic is essential for the broader scientific community. Here, drawing upon both epistemological and statistical perspectives, we aim to clarify—primarily for educational purposes—the logical relationship ...

Cumulative hierarchies and computability over universes of sets
Le Matematiche, 2008 Various metamathematical investigations, beginning with Fraenkel’s historical proof of the independence of the axiom of choice, called for suitable definitions of hierarchical universes of sets. This led to the discovery of such important cumulative
