Abstract

Given a model of preferences, what choice data or experiment is sufficient to definitively test whether a subject is consistent with the model or to classify them into some “type” within the model? We characterize all experiments that test or classify a given model using a novel graph-theoretic construction: the labeled permutohedron. We show how these results can be used to identify the smallest experiments that achieve a particular goal.

哪些实验可以检验一个模型？

给定一个偏好模型，什么样的选择数据或实验足以明确地测试一个对象是否与模型一致，或者在模型内将他们分类为某种“类型”？我们描述了所有的实验，测试或分类一个给定的模型使用一个新的图论结构：标记的双面体。我们展示了如何使用这些结果来识别实现特定目标的最小实验。
