@decidables/prospectable-mathEquations for Calculating Cumulative Prospect Theory in prospectαbλe

Helper functions for calculations related to Cumulative Prospect Theory for prospectαbλe.

Usage

Install

yarn add @decidables/prospectable-math

Use

import CPTMath from '@decidables/prospectable-math';

A class providing static functions for calculating Signal Detection Theory equations

Contents

CPTMath

Single class exposing static functions for CPT calculations. Each function takes values for one or more variables and returns the value of another variable. The functions are named with a list of the input variables followed by a '2' followed by the output variable, in camelcase. For example, hM2Hr takes as input the number of hits, H, and the number of misses, M, and outputs the hit rate, HR

Variable names

• x = objective value
• p = probability
• v = subjective value
• w = decision weight
• u = subjective utility
• a = α (alpha, diminishing marginal utility)
• l = λ (lambda, loss aversion)
• g = γ (gamma, probability distortion)

Methods w/implemented equations

• xal2v(x, a, l)
  • v = if (x >= 0) x^a; if (x < 0) -l * (-x)^a
• xlv2a(x, l, v)
  • a = if (x >= 0) log(v) / log(x); if (x < 0) (log(-v) - log(l)) / log(-x)
• xav2l(x, a, v)
  • a = if (x >= 0) 1; if (x < 0) -v / (-x)^a
• pg2w(p, g)
  • w = p^g / (p^g + (1 - p)^g)^(1 / g)
• vw2u(v, w)
  • u = Sum_n(v_n * w_n)
  • Accepts numbers or equal-length arrays of numbers
