Towards the Design of Prospect-Theory based Human Decision Rules for Hypothesis Testing
Detection rules have traditionally been designed for rational agents that minimize the Bayes risk (average decision cost). With the advent of crowd-sensing systems, there is a need to redesign binary hypothesis testing rules for behavioral agents, whose cognitive behavior is not captured by traditional utility functions such as Bayes risk. In this paper, we adopt prospect theory based models for decision makers. We consider special agent models namely optimists and pessimists in this paper, and derive optimal detection rules under different scenarios. Using an illustrative example, we also show how the decision rule of a human agent deviates from the Bayesian decision rule under various behavioral models, considered in this paper.

Detection in Human-sensor Systems under Quantum Prospect Theory using Bayesian Persuasion Frameworks
Human-sensor systems have a wide range of applications in fields such as robotics, healthcare, and finance. These systems utilize sensors to observe the true state of nature and generate strategically designed signals, a…
Human DetectionOn the Qualitative Comparison of Decisions Having Positive and Negative Features
Making a decision is often a matter of listing and comparing positive and negative arguments. In such cases, the evaluation scale for decisions should be considered bipolar, that is, negative and positive values should b…
Human Behavioral Models Using Utility Theory and Prospect Theory
Several examples of Cyber-physical human systems (CPHS) include real-time decisions from humans as a necessary building block for the successful performance of the overall system. Many of these decision-making problems n…
Decision MakingInformation Processing by Networks of Quantum Decision Makers
We suggest a model of a multi-agent society of decision makers taking decisions being based on two criteria, one is the utility of the prospects and the other is the attractiveness of the considered prospects. The model …
Prospect Theory in Physical Human-Robot Interaction: A Pilot Study of Probability Perception
Understanding how humans respond to uncertainty is critical for designing safe and effective physical human-robot interaction (pHRI), as physically working with robots introduces multiple sources of uncertainty, includin…
