Recent literature in the last Maximum Entropy workshop introduced an analogy between cumulative probability distributions and normalized utility functions. Based on this analogy, a utility density function can de defined as the derivative…
In this paper, we establish a mathematical duality between utility transforms and probability distortions. These transforms play a central role in decision under risk by forming the foundation for the classic theories of expected utility,…
We introduce a new interpretation of two related notions - conditional utility and utility independence. Unlike the traditional interpretation, the new interpretation renders the notions the direct analogues of their probabilistic…
I introduce a concave function of allocations and prices -- the economy's potential -- which measures the difference between utilitarian social welfare and its dual. I show that Walrasian equilibria correspond to roots of the potential:…
The statistical duality of distributions is a powerful tool for statistical inferences. In the paper the statistical duality of Laplace distribution is discussed. As shown the confidence density of the parameter of this distribution is…
In this paper we describe a theory of a cumulative distribution function on a space with an order from a probability measure defined in this space. This distribution function plays a similar role to that played in the classical case.…
In this pedagogical text aimed at those wanting to start thinking about or brush up on probabilistic inference, I review the rules by which probability distribution functions can (and cannot) be combined. I connect these rules to the…
In this paper we introduce a new probability distribution on (0,1), associated with the I-function, namely, the I-function distribution. This distribution generalizes several known distributions with positive support. It is also shown that…
In this paper we study the problem of maximizing expected utility from the terminal wealth with proportional transaction costs and random endowment. In the context of the existence of consistent price systems, we consider the duality…
This paper makes a small step towards a non-stochastic version of superhedging duality relations in the case of one traded security with a continuous price path. Namely, we prove the coincidence of game-theoretic and measure-theoretic…
In this paper we present three simple applications of probability and highlight and discuss their paradoxical flavour.
In this talk, some aspects of duality symmetries are presented.
We interpret a fuzzy set as a random availability function and provide sufficient conditions under which a preference relation over the set of all random availability functions can be represented by a utility function.
In this paper we present a duality theory for the robust utility maximisation problem in continuous time for utility functions defined on the positive real axis. Our results are inspired by -- and can be seen as the robust analogues of --…
Probability distribution theory helps in studying the impact of various dimensions in life while the Mittag-Leffler function and bicomplex are used in electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, and signal theory. Considering the importance of…
This paper provides a fresh perspective on the representation of distributive bilattices and of related varieties. The techniques of naturalduality are employed to give, economically and in a uniform way, categories ofstructures dually…
In this research, Minkowski type functions which are constructed on certain probability distributions, are introduced. There are investigated differential, integral, and other properties of these functions.
Reliability (survival analysis, to biostatisticians) is a key ingredient for mak- ing decisions that mitigate the risk of failure. The other key ingredient is utility. A decision theoretic framework harnesses the two, but to invoke this…
In this article the propagation of pointlike event probabilities in space is considered. Double-Slit experiment is described in detail. New interpretation of Quantum Theory is formulated.
We study the dual formulation of the utility maximization problem in incomplete markets when the utility function is finitely valued on the whole real line. We extend the existing results in this literature in two directions. First, we…
