Measuring Stochastic Rationality
Our goal is to develop a partial ordering method for comparing stochastic choice functions on the basis of their individual rationality. To this end, we assign to any stochastic choice function a one-parameter class of deterministic choice correspondences, and then check for the rationality (in the sense of revealed preference) of these correspondences for each parameter value. The resulting ordering detects violations of (stochastic) transitivity as well as inconsistencies between choices from nested menus. We obtain a parameter-free characterization and apply it to some popular stochastic choice models. We also provide empirical applications in terms of two well-known choice experiments.

Individual Rationality Conditions of Identifying Matching Costs in Transferable Utility Matching Games
As the widely applied method for measuring matching assortativeness in a transferable utility matching game, a matching maximum score estimation is proposed by \cite{fox2010qe}. This article reveals that combining unmatc…
Measuring Higher-Order Rationality with Belief Control
Determining an individual's strategic reasoning capability based solely on choice data is a complex task. This complexity arises because sophisticated players might have non-equilibrium beliefs about others, leading to n…
A rational measure of irrationality
All possible types of deterministic choice behavior are classified by their degree of irrationality. This classification is performed in three steps: (1) select a benchmark of rationality, for which this degree is zero; …
Rationality and connectivity in stochastic learning for networked coordination games
Coordination is a desirable feature in many multi-agent systems such as robotic and socioeconomic networks. We consider a task allocation problem as a binary networked coordination game over an undirected regular graph. …
Inverse Resource Rational Based Stochastic Driver Behavior Model
Human drivers have limited and time-varying cognitive resources when making decisions in real-world traffic scenarios, which often leads to unique and stochastic behaviors that can not be explained by perfect rationality…
