3. Utility Problems & Paradoxes
(more)
The Allais paradox (modified)
Suppose Mr. Somebody offers you a choice of only one of the following: A guaranteed gain of $99. Or A lottery: The gain of $100 with the probability P(preliminary) = 99% or $0 with the (preliminary) probability 1%. The mathematical expectations of guarantee and lottery outcomes are exactly the same. But people chose the guaranteed gain instead of the lottery. Top
Gains and Losses
Compare two experiments: 1) Mr. Somebody offers you a choice of only one of the following: A guaranteed gain of $99. Or A lottery: The gain of $100 with the probability P(preliminary) = 99% or $0 with the (preliminary) probability 1%. 2) Mr. Somebody offers you a choice of only one of the following: A guaranteed loss of $99. Or A lottery: The loss of $100 with the probability P(preliminary) = 99% or $0 with the (preliminary) probability 1%. The mathematical expectations of the guarantee and lottery outcomes are exactly the same in both experiments. But in similar experiments, the overwhelming majority of people chose: - in the case of gains - the guaranteed gain instead of the lottery one. - in the case of losses - the lottery loss instead of the guaranteed one. The possible well-known "natural and clear explanation" of gains in the Allais paradox by means of risk aversion cannot supply any uniform explanation for both gains and losses. The result of this explanation is gains' risk aversion and losses' risk seeking. Top
Overweighting of low Probabilities
Suppose Mr. Somebody offers you a choice of only one of the following: A guaranteed gain of $1. Or A lottery: The gain of $100 with the probability P(preliminary) = 1% or $0 with the (preliminary) probability 1%. The mathematical expectations of guarantee and lottery outcomes are exactly the same. But the well-determined experimental fact is: in similar experiments the obvious majority of people chose the lottery instead of the guaranteed gain.
Four-Fold-Pattern
The well-determined facts are: For positive (gains) risky prospects, people typically 1) overweight low probabilities but 2) underweight high probabilities. For negative (losses) risky prospects, people typically 3) underweight low probabilities but 4) overweight high probabilities. Top

4. New Approach

The idea of the approach
Particular consideration of (hidden) uncertainties (noises, fluctuations, measurements' errors, imprecision, etc.)
Principle of Uncertain Future
(simplified as much as possible)
The principle
The probability of a future event contains uncertainty.
4.1. The first consequence of the principle
Suppose we plan to test the probability value, which is equal to 99%. Suppose the probability uncertainty value is equal to 5%. Then, evidently, the real mean value of probability cannot be as high as 99%. Generally, High probabilities will decrease.
Phigh real < Phigh planned
Analogously, but considering the second consequence of the principle (see below),
Low probabilities can increase.
Plow real possible > Plow planned
4.2. The second consequence of the principle
The total probability of unforeseen future events is more than 0%
Σ Punforeseen real > 0%
Hence,
The present total probability of future events is less than 100%
Σ Pplanned < 100%
or
The present probability system of future events is incomplete. Top

5. Solution of Problems

The strongest qualitative test is the 4-Fold-Pattern.
Solution & Explanation
of the 4-Fold-Pattern (simplified as much as possible) The well-determined facts are: For positive (gains) risky prospects, people typically 1) overweight low probabilities but 2) underweight high probabilities. For negative (losses) risky prospects, people typically 3) underweight low probabilities but 4) overweight high probabilities. Denoting the real value of probability, which value is near 100% as Phigh real , the (positive) value of gain as G and the (negative) value of loss as -G , we obtain
Phigh real < Phigh planned
and
G * Phigh real < G * Phigh planned
-G * Phigh real > -G * Phigh planned
2) the underweight of high probabilities gains and 4) the overweight of high probabilities losses. Denoting the real value of probability, which value is near 0% as Plow real possible we obtain
Plow real possible > Plow planned
and
G * Plow real possible > G * Plow planned
-G * Plow real possible < -G * Plow planned
1) the overweight of low probabilities gains and 3) the underweight of low probabilities losses. Thus, the above facts can be explained naturally and uniformly. Top
