Finite Mixture Model Specifications Accommodating Treatment Nonresponse in Experimental Research
For researchers exploring causal inferences with simple two group experimental designs, results are confounded when using common statistical methods and further are unsuitable in cases of treatment nonresponse. In signal processing, researchers have successfully extracted multiple signals from data …

Feature-Based Choice and Similarity Perception in Normal-Form Games: An Experimental Research
In my thesis, I investigate how strategic behavior forms in the mind of the subjects and how is it possible to influence or manipulate it, without proposing modifications of the utility function, but referring to possible logical and psychological processes. I start from the assumption that agents …
