Planning with imperfect information : interceptor assignment
… interceptors to a wave of incoming RVs, gain information on the intercept status, and then if necessary, assign interceptors once more. However, the status information of these RVs may not be reliable. This problem becomes challenging when considering the small inventory of interceptors, …

Essays on Price Adjustment and Imperfect Information
… The second chapter presents a theory of costly information that generates such simple, sticky policies. In order to economize on the costs of acquiring information, the firm designs a pricing policy that is a noisy, coarse representation of market conditions. Moreover, it updates this policy …

Essays on imperfect information and economic growth
… on economic growth in the presence of asymmetric information between lenders and borrowers in the credit market. The first chapter considers an endogenous growth model where lenders and capital producing borrowers are asymmetrically informed as to the borrower’s ability to successfully operate an …

Algorithms on graph-structured data with imperfect information
… study two problems on graph-structured data with imperfect information: hypergraph-based active learning and source estimation on directed acyclic graphs (DAGs), all with provable statistical guarantees. In the first part of this thesis, we propose an active learning scheme which is able to …

Interception algorithm for autonomous vehicles with imperfect information
… vehicles often operate in environments with imperfect information. This thesis addresses the case of a system of autonomous vehicles and sensors attempting to intercept a moving object of interest that arrives stochastically and moves stochastically after arrival. A sensor array is placed in …

Applying machine learning techniques to an imperfect information game
… researchers because it is a complex asymmetric information game. In such games, a player can improve his performance by inferring the private information held by the other players from their prior actions. A novel connectionist structure was designed to play a version of poker (multi-player …

Information and Markets for Credence Goods
… final chapter in my dissertation considers how imperfect information about credence goods impacts consumer welfare. Since consumers do not notice a change in quality of a credence good, a non-optimal consumption choice is made which impacts consumer welfare. I develop a framework to account for …
