Mixed population Minority Game with generalized strategies

Condensed Matter 2009-10-31 v1 Adaptation and Self-Organizing Systems

Abstract

We present a quantitative theory, based on crowd effects, for the market volatility in a Minority Game played by a mixed population. Below a critical concentration of generalized strategy players, we find that the volatility in the crowded regime remains above the random coin-toss value regardless of the "temperature" controlling strategy use. Our theory yields good agreement with numerical simulations.
