Allais paradox

The Allais paradox is a choice problem designed by to show an inconsistency of actual observed choices with the predictions of expected utility theory.

Bayesian probability

Bayesian probability is an interpretation of the concept of probability, in which, instead of frequency or propensity of some phenomenon, probability is interpreted as reasonable expectation representing a state of knowledge or as quantification of a personal belief.

Ellsberg paradox

The Ellsberg paradox is a paradox in decision theory in which people's choices violate the postulates of subjective expected utility.

Expected utility hypothesis

In economics, game theory, and decision theory the expected utility hypothesis, concerning people's preferences with regard to choices that have uncertain outcomes (gambles), states that if specific axioms are satisfied, the subjective value associated with an individual's gamble is the statistical expectation of that individual's valuations of the outcomes of that gamble.

Expected value

In probability theory, the expected value of a random variable, intuitively, is the long-run average value of repetitions of the experiment it represents.
