Methodological Remarks Regarding Optimal Stopping Tasks and the Implications for Sampling Biases

2021-09-14

Abstract excerpt

<p>This paper investigates a type of optimal stopping problem where options are presented in sequence and, once an option has been rejected, it is impossible to go back to it. With previous research finding mixed results of undersampling and oversampling biases on these kinds of optimal stopping tasks, the question remaining is what causes people to sample too much or too little compared to models of optimality? I...
