Minimax and the Value of Information [PDF]
, 2012 In his discussion of minimax decision rules, Savage (1954, p. 170) presents an example purporting to show that minimax applied to negative expected utility (referred to by Savage as 'negative income') is an inadequate decision criterion for statistics ...

On Noncooperative Games, Minimax Theorems and Equilibrium Problems [PDF]
In this chapter we give an overview on the theory of noncooperative games. In the first part we consider in detail for zero-sum (and constant-sum) noncooperative games under which necessary and sufficient conditions on the payoff function and different ...

Worst-case estimation for econometric models with unobservable components. [PDF]
A worst-case estimator for econometric models containing unobservable components, based on minimax principles for optimal selection of parameters, is proposed. Worst-case estimators are robust against the averse effects of unobservables.

An Interior-Point algorithm for Nonlinear Minimax Problems [PDF]
We present a primal-dual interior-point method for constrained nonlinear, discrete minimax problems where the objective functions and constraints are not necessarily convex.

What Happens in the Field Stays in the Field: Exploring Whether Professionals Play Minimax in Laboratory Experiments [PDF]
The minimax argument represents game theory in its most elegant form: simple but with stark predictions. Although some of these predictions have been met with reasonable success in the field, experimental data have generally not provided results close to

Predicting one Shot Play in 2x2 Games Using Beliefs Based on Minimax Regret [PDF]
We present a simple procedure that selects the strategies most likely to be played by inexperienced agents who interact in one shot 2x2 matching pennies games. As a first step we axiomatically describe players’ beliefs.

Endotrivial modules in the cyclic case. [PDF]
, 2007 The purpose of this note is to determine all endotrivial modules in prime characteristic~$p$, for a finite group having a cyclic Sylow $p$-subgroup.

Adaptive Minimax-Regret Treatment Choice, With Application To Drug Approval [PDF]
Suppose that there are two treatments for a condition. One is the status quo, whose properties are known from experience and the other is an innovation, whose properties are not known initially.

Stochastic Optimization and Worst-Case Analysis in Monetary Policy Design [PDF]
In this paper we compare expected loss minimization to worst-case or minimax analysis in the design of simple Taylor-style rules for monetary policy using a small model estimated for the euro area by Orphanides and Wieland (2000).
