Suboptimal human inference inverts the bias-variance trade-off for decisions with asymmetric evidence
2020-12-07
Abstract excerpt
Solutions to challenging inference problems are often subject to a fundamental trade-off between bias (being systematically wrong) that is minimized with complex inference strategies and variance (being oversensitive to uncertain observations) that is minimized with simple inference strategies. However, this trade-off is based on the assumption that the strategies being considered are optimal for their given compl...
