Testing Transitivity of Preferences on Two-Alternative Forced Choice Data

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2010
As Duncan Luce and other prominent scholars have pointed out on several occasions, testing algebraic models against empirical data raises difficult conceptual, mathematical, and statistical challenges.

Opaque Sweetening and Transitivity

open access: yes, 2019
I argue that any plausible decision theory for agents with incomplete preferences which obeys the Never Worse Principle will violate Transitivity. The Never Worse Principle says that, if one option never does worse than another, you shouldn’t disprefer ...

A Probabilistic Analysis of Causation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The starting point in the development of probabilistic analyses of token causation has usually been the naive intuition that, in some relevant sense, a cause raises the probability of its effect.

Information Space of a Transitive Society: Challenges and Prospects

open access: yesКонсультативная психология и психотерапия, 2019
In the paper, we show the specificity of identity in the situation of transitivity, reveal the connection between different aspects of the transitive and information space, and distinguish between two the types of transitivity — rigid and fluid, that are

open access: yes, 1987
This paper is concerned with anticausative verbs (or verb-forms), or shortly, anticausatives. [...] [C]ausative/non-causative pairs with a marked non-causative are quite frequent in the languages of the world.

A Bird's Eye View of English Grammar: Connecting the Dots in Two Dimensions

open access: yesTESOL Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Over the past few decades, discussions on grammar instruction have primarily focused on teaching methodologies, such as whether grammar should be taught explicitly or implicitly, and whether the focus should be on form or forms. This paper, however, shifts the focus to grammar itself, aiming to provide a “shape” for pedagogical grammar.

Research on semantics of trust transitivity in cryptographic primitives

open access: yesTongxin xuebao, 2008
Under the background of trustable computing and trust management, the semantics of trust transitivity in cryptographic primitives were concerned, and an embryo model was proposed. Further, by using the model as a tool, se-mantics of trust transitivity in

A Binary Intuitionistic Fuzzy Relation: Some New Results, a General Factorization, and Two Properties of Strict Components

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 2009
We establish, by means of a large class of continuous t-representable intuitionistic fuzzy t-conorms, a factorization of an intuitionistic fuzzy relation (IFR) into a unique indifference component and a family of regular strict components.

Empirical Tests of Intransitivity Predicted by Models of Risky Choice [PDF]

open access: yes
Recently proposed models of risky choice imply systematic violations of transitivity of preference. Five studies explored whether people show patterns of intransitivity predicted by four descriptive models. To distinguish ?true?
