EE Seminar #13: Fabien Paillusson – Spectroscopic classification of non-ergodic populations
Posted on
by
Non-ergodicity impacts statistical inference across a diverse range of disciplines, both within and beyond physics. However, the concept of ergodicity is used inconsistently and may refer to several non-equivalent notions. In this talk, Fabien Paillusson (University of Lincoln) identifies and clarifies the

Ergodicity economics in the Copenhagen experiments
Posted on
by
Dr Ole Peters (London Mathematical Laboratory, Santa Fe Institute) explores how ergodicity economics rethinks decision-making and expected value, drawing on insights from Copenhagen experiments. Abstract Expected values play an important role in economic modelling. Many behavioural models propose that humans optimise expected

EE Seminar #12: Ollie Hulme – Time-averaging predicts optimality of human risk-taking and striatal reward responses
Posted on
by
Maximising expected outcomes – framed as expected utility in behavioural science and expected reward in reinforcement learning – has long dominated models of decision-making. In this seminar, Ollie Hulme (DRCMR) asks if people maximise time averages instead. He will present data showing

EE Seminar #11: Colm Connaughton – Heuristic decision models of the Copenhagen experiment
Posted on
by
Behavioural experiments by Ollie Hulme’s group in Copenhagen show that people change their implied risk preferences when choosing between repeated multiplicative versus additive gambles. The shifts are consistent with a model assuming that the subjects intend to maximise the time averaged growth

EE Seminar #10: Aubrey Clayton – Teaching Probability Without Frequencies
Posted on
by
In this seminar, Aubrey Clayton (author of Bernoulli’s Fallacy) introduces a framework for characterising probability without reliance on frequencies. Statistics educators (even Bayesians!) have long struggled with the fact that no traditional definition of probability is adequate for all purposes. Sometimes probability
