Entscheidungs- und Spieltheorie (German, Paperback, 2002 ed.): Harald Wiese Entscheidungs- und Spieltheorie (German, Paperback, 2002 ed.)
Harald Wiese
R996 Discovery Miles 9 960 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Gegenstand dieses Buches sind die Entscheidungstheorie und die Spieltheorie. Die Entscheidungstheorie behandelt Entscheidungen eines einzelnen Agenten bei Unsicherheit, also entweder bei Risiko (dem Agenten sind Wahrscheinlichkeiten gegeben) oder bei Ungewissheit (Wahrscheinlichkeiten sind nicht gegeben). Die Spieltheorie wird angewendet, wenn man es mit mehreren Entscheidern (auch Spieler genannt) zu tun hat, beispielsweise in der Oligopoltheorie, bei Prinzipal-Agenten-Beziehungen oder bei der Analyse von Auktionen. Das Lehrbuch beruht auf der didaktischen Grundentscheidung, die Spieltheorie soweit als m glich auf der Basis der Entscheidungstheorie zu behandeln. Dies gilt f r die strategische wie f r die extensive Form. Diese Vorgehensweise erh ht das Verst ndnis f r den Stoff.

Das Buch befasst sich mit der nichtkooperativen Spieltheorie unter Zuhilfenahme eines Computer-Algebra-Systems (Mathematica). Der Schwerpunkt des Buches liegt bei der Bestimmung von Techniken und Algorithmen fur die Loesung von Zweipersonenspielen und deren Implementierung am Rechner. Die Ideen werden anhand von Standardbeispielen wie das Gefangenendilemma, Krieg der Geschlechter oder Falke-Taube-Spiel illustriert und erklart. Aber auch praktische Probleme, vor allem Inspektionssituationen, werden mittels Spieltheorie modelliert und mit Mathematica geloest. Durch den algorithmischen Ansatz, und durch die enge Verknupfung des Textes mit Mathematica-Notebooks wird dem Leser ein unterhaltsamer und nachvollziehbarer Zugang zu den grundlegenden Prinzipien der nichtkooperativen Spieltheorie geboten. Auf einer begleitenden Diskette befinden sich Mathematica-Notebooks sowie ein Mathematica-Package mit Implementierungen zu allen im Text entwickelten Algorithmen.

Multivariate Datenanalysen untersuchen Datensatze mit Beobachtungen von in der Regel drei oder mehr Variablen. Die jeweiligen Analyseverfahren sind Interdependenz- oder Dependenzverfahren. Dependenzverfahren erfordern mindestens zwei abhangige Variablen. Die "Multivariate Datenanalyse" stellt diese Verfahren am Beispiel eines einheitlichen Datensatzes vor. Alle Anwendungen nutzen Prozeduren des statistischen Programmpakets SPSS. Im Einzelnen unterscheidet die "Multivariate Datenanlyse" zwischen explorativen und konfirmatorischen Verfahren. Alle Verfahren werden in einer einheitlichen Darstellungsform prasentiert. So wird vom Ziel uber Daten, Vorbereitung und Modell zum eigentlichen statischen Verfahren vorangeschritten. Anschliessend wird jeweils mit Hilfe des statistischen Programmpakets SPSS ein Beispiel vorgestellt, dessen Interpretation das jeweilige Kapitel abschliesst.

R1,484 Discovery Miles 14 840 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Die Theorie strategischen Handelns pr gt die moderne sozialwissenschaftliche Forschung. Angesichts deren extremer Pr missen hat sich, ausgehend von biologischen Ans tzen zur Entwicklung der Arten, eine alternative Theorie zur Erkl rung individuellen Verhaltens entwickelt. Die Evolution re Spieltheorie verzichtet auf die, empirisch fragw rdigen, Pr missen vollkommener Rationalit t, vollkommener Information und perfekter Verhaltenskoordinierung. Diese werden durch die Annahme von Anpassungsprozessen, die der biologischen Evolution nachempfunden sind, ersetzt. Das Buch dokumentiert die Entstehung dieser Richtung und zeigt dem Leser die M glichkeiten auf, die diese Theorie er ffnet.
Das Werk zeichnet sich durch seine gute Verst ndlichkeit aus und eignet sich unter anderem dadurch f r den Einsatz als studienbegleitendes Lehrbuch.

Finanzmarktoekonometrie bietet eine umfassende Darstellung des zeitkontinuierlichen Modellierungsansatzes und seiner Anwendung in OEkonometrie, empirischer Kapitalmarktforschung und Optionsbewertung. Dabei liegt ein Schwerpunkt auf der Theorie, Simulation, Filterung und Parameterschatzung zeitstetiger Systeme. Besonders praxisrelevant ist hierbei die Annahme, dass Daten nur zu bestimmten Zeitpunkten als Panel oder Zeitreihen erhaltlich sind. Zusatzlich wird davon ausgegangen, dass nur Teile des Systemzustands messbar und mit Messfehlern behaftet sind. Der aus der System- und Kontrolltheorie stammende kontinuierlich-diskrete Zustandsraum-Ansatz wird in Finanzmarktoekonometrie konsequent auf Modellierungsprobleme derivativer Finanzprodukte angewandt. Umfangreiche graphische Darstellungen erlautern und verdeutlichen dem Leser die mathematische Formulierung der Thematik.

In einem strategischen Spiel gibt es stets mehrere autonom entscheidende Akteure, die ihre individuellen Interessen verfolgen. Jede soziale Konfliktsituation mit opportunistisch handelnden Individuen erweist sich daher als strategisches Spiel. In diesem Lehrbuch werden strategische Spiele exakt beschrieben und das individuell rationale Entscheidungsverhalten aller Beteiligten determiniert. Beschrieben werden Spiele in Stufenform, in extensiver Form, in Agentennormalform, in Normalform sowie in charakteristischer Funktionsform. Alle Konzepte zur Darstellung und Loesung strategischer Spiele werden durch vielfaltige oekonomische (Bei)Spiele veranschaulicht, wodurch auch das konstruktive Vorgehen bei Anwendung dieser Konzepte vorgefuhrt wird.

Die State-Preference-Theorie bildet eine ideale analytische Basis zum Verstandnis der oekonomischen Struktur moderner Kapitalmarktmodelle. Dieses Buch zeigt, wie ein einfaches State-Preference-Modell herangezogen werden kann, um die Bedingungen des Kapitalmarktgleichgewichts in diskreter und stetiger Zeit zu analysieren. Es handelt sich hierbei um einen einfuhrenden Text, der zwar auf Mathematik und Statistik nicht verzichten kann, bei welchem allerdings oekonomische UEberlegungen einen ebenso breiten Raum einnehmen. Das Buch schliesst damit eine Lucke zwischen volkswirtschaftlichen, finanzmarkttheoretischen und auf stochastische Fragen ausgerichteten Lehrtexten.

R1,686 Discovery Miles 16 860 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Known as the science of strategy, game theory is a branch of mathematics that has gained broad acceptance as a legitimate methodological tool, and has been widely adapted by a number of other fields. Frank C. Zagare provides an introduction to the application of game theory in the fields of security studies and diplomatic history, demonstrating the advantages of using a formal game-theoretic framework to explain complex events and strategic relationships. Comprised of three parts, the first illustrates the basic concepts of game theory, initially with abstract examples but later in the context of real world foreign policy decision-making. The author highlights the methodological problems of using game theory to construct an analytic narrative and the advantages of working around these obstacles. Part II develops three extended case studies that illustrate the theory at work: the First Moroccan Crisis of 1905-1906, the July Crisis of 1914, and the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. Finally, in Part III, Zagare describes a general theory of interstate conflict initiation, limitation, escalation, and resolution and rebuts criticisms of the methodology. Logically demanding, Game Theory, Diplomatic History and Security Studies conveys an intuitive understanding of the theory of games through the use of real-world examples to exemplify the 'theory in action'.

Paul J. Nahin
R508 Discovery Miles 5 080 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

We all played tag when we were kids. What most of us don't realize is that this simple chase game is in fact an application of pursuit theory, and that the same principles of games like tag, dodgeball, and hide-and-seek are also at play in military strategy, high-seas chases by the Coast Guard, and even romantic pursuits. In "Chases and Escapes," Paul Nahin gives us the first complete history of this fascinating area of mathematics, from its classical analytical beginnings to the present day.

Drawing on game theory, geometry, linear algebra, target-tracking algorithms, and much more, Nahin also offers an array of challenging puzzles with their historical background and broader applications. "Chases and Escapes" includes solutions to all problems and provides computer programs that readers can use for their own cutting-edge analysis.

Now with a gripping new preface on how the Enola Gay escaped the shock wave from the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, this book will appeal to anyone interested in the mathematics that underlie pursuit and evasion.

Game theory is the science of interaction. This textbook, derived from courses taught by the author and developed over several years, is a comprehensive, straightforward introduction to the mathematics of non-cooperative games. It teaches what every game theorist should know: the important ideas and results on strategies, game trees, utility theory, imperfect information, and Nash equilibrium. The proofs of these results, in particular existence of an equilibrium via fixed points, and an elegant direct proof of the minimax theorem for zero-sum games, are presented in a self-contained, accessible way. This is complemented by chapters on combinatorial games like Go; and, it has introductions to algorithmic game theory, traffic games, and the geometry of two-player games. This detailed and lively text requires minimal mathematical background and includes many examples, exercises, and pictures. It is suitable for self-study or introductory courses in mathematics, computer science, or economics departments.

R1,193 Discovery Miles 11 930 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Casino games and traditional card games have rich and idiosyncratic histories, complex subcultures and player practices, and facilitate the flow of billions of dollars each year through casinos and card rooms, and between professional players and amateurs. They have nevertheless been overlooked by game scholars due to the negative ethical weight of “gambling” – with such games pathologized and labelled as deviance or mental illness, few look beyond to unpick the games, their players, and their communities. The Casino, Card and Betting Game Reader offers 25 chapters studying the communities playing these games, the distinctive cultures and practices that have emerged around them, their activities and beliefs and interpersonal relationships, and how these games influence – both positively and negatively – the lives and careers of millions of game players around the world. It is the first of a new series of edited collections, Play Beyond the Computer, dedicated to exploring the play of games beyond computers and games consoles.

Game Theory for Political Scientists (Hardcover, New): James D. Morrow Game Theory for Political Scientists (Hardcover, New)
James D. Morrow
R2,556 Discovery Miles 25 560 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Game theory is the mathematical analysis of strategic interaction. In the fifty years since the appearance of von Neumann and Morgenstern's classic "Theory of Games and Economic Behavior" (Princeton, 1944), game theory has been widely applied to problems in economics. Until recently, however, its usefulness in political science has been underappreciated, in part because of the technical difficulty of the methods developed by economists. James Morrow's book is the first to provide a standard text adapting contemporary game theory to political analysis. It uses a minimum of mathematics to teach the essentials of game theory and contains problems and their solutions suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in all branches of political science.

Morrow begins with classical utility and game theory and ends with current research on repeated games and games of incomplete information. The book focuses on noncooperative game theory and its application to international relations, political economy, and American and comparative politics. Special attention is given to models of four topics: bargaining, legislative voting rules, voting in mass elections, and deterrence. An appendix reviews relevant mathematical techniques. Brief bibliographic essays at the end of each chapter suggest further readings, graded according to difficulty. This rigorous but accessible introduction to game theory will be of use not only to political scientists but also to psychologists, sociologists, and others in the social sciences.

Simple Games - Desirability Relations, Trading, Pseudoweightings (Hardcover): Alan D. Taylor, William S. Zwicker Simple Games - Desirability Relations, Trading, Pseudoweightings (Hardcover)
Alan D. Taylor, William S. Zwicker
R4,147 Discovery Miles 41 470 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Simple games are mathematical structures inspired by voting systems in which a single alternative, such as a bill, is pitted against the status quo. The first in-depth mathematical study of the subject as a coherent subfield of finite combinatorics--one with its own organized body of techniques and results--this book blends new theorems with some of the striking results from threshold logic, making all of it accessible to game theorists. Introductory material receives a fresh treatment, with an emphasis on Boolean subgames and the Rudin-Keisler order as unifying concepts. Advanced material focuses on the surprisingly wide variety of properties related to the weightedness of a game.

A desirability relation orders the individuals or coalitions of a game according to their influence in the corresponding voting system. As Taylor and Zwicker show, acyclicity of such a relation approximates weightedness--the more sensitive the relation, the closer the approximation. A trade is an exchange of players among coalitions, and robustness under such trades is equivalent to weightedness of the game. Robustness under trades that fit some restrictive exchange pattern typically characterizes a wider class of simple games--for example, games for which some particular desirability order is acyclic. Finally, one can often describe these wider classes of simple games by weakening the total additivity of a weighting to obtain what is called a pseudoweighting. In providing such uniform explanations for many of the structural properties of simple games, this book showcases numerous new techniques and results.

As with the previous editions, this fourth edition relies on teaching by example and the Karplus Learning Cycle to convey the ideas of game theory in a way that is approachable, intuitive, and interdisciplinary. Noncooperative equilibrium concepts such as Nash equilibrium, mixed strategy equilibria, and subgame perfect equilibrium are systematically introduced in the first half of the book. Bayesian Nash equilibrium is briefly introduced. The subsequent chapters discuss cooperative solutions with and without side payments, rationalizable strategies and correlated equilibria, and applications to elections, social mechanism design, and larger-scale games. New examples include panic buying, supply-chain shifts in the pandemic, and global warming.
