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 ...

Professionals Do Not Play Minimax: Evidence from Major League Baseball and the National Football League [PDF]
Game theory makes strong predictions about how individuals should behave in two player, zero sum games. When players follow a mixed strategy, equilibrium payoffs should be equalized across actions, and choices should be serially uncorrelated.

Worst-case estimation and asymptotic theory for models with unobservables [PDF]
, 2004 This paper proposes a worst-case approach for estimating econometric models containing unobservable variables. Worst-case estimators are robust against the adverse effects of unobservables.

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

A Framework for the Flexible Integration of a Class of Decision Procedures into Theorem Provers [PDF]
, 1999 The role of decision procedures is often essential in theorem proving. Decision procedures can reduce the search space of heuristic components of a prover and increase its abilities.

"Minimax Empirical Bayes Ridge-Principal Component Regression Estimators" [PDF]
In this paper, we consider the problem of estimating the regression parameters in a multiple linear regression model with design matrix A when the multicollinearity is present.

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.

Best Responding to What? A Behavioral Approach to One Shot Play in 2x2 Games [PDF]
We introduce a simple procedure to be used for selecting the strategies most likely to be played by inexperienced agents who interact in one shot 2x2 games. We start with an axiomatic description of a function that may capture players' beliefs.

A General Setting for Flexibly Combining and Augmenting Decision Procedures [PDF]
, 2002 The efficient combining and augmenting of decision procedures are often very important for a successful use of theorem provers. There are several schemes for combining and augmenting decision procedures; some of them support handling uninterpreted ...
