A Linear Threshold Model for Optimal Stopping Behavior

2020-02-08

Abstract excerpt

<p>In many real life decisions, options are distributed in space and time, making itnecessary to search sequentially through them, often without a chance to return to arejected option. The optimal strategy in these tasks is to choose the first option that isabove a threshold that depends on the current position in the sequence. The implicitdecision making strategies by humans vary but largely diverge from this opt...
