6.5 Applications of Exponential and Logarithmic Functions 469
6.5 Applications of Exponential and Logarithmic Functions 469 6.5 Applications of Exponential and Logarithmic Functions As we mentioned in Section 6.1, exponential and logarithmic functions are used to model a wide variety of behaviors in the real world. In the examples that follow, note that while the applications are drawn from many different disciplines, the mathematics remains essentially the same. Due to the applied nature of the problems we will examine in this section, the calculator is often used to express our answers as decimal approximations. 6.5.1 Applications of Exponential Functions Perhaps the most well-known application of exponential functions comes from the financial world. Suppose you have $100 to invest at your local bank and they are offering a whopping 5 % annual percentage interest rate. This means that after one year, the bank will pay you 5% of that $100, or $100(0:05) = $5 in interest, so you now have $105.1 This is in accordance with the formula for simple interest which you have undoubtedly run across at some point before. Equation 6.1. Simple Interest The amount of interest I accrued at an annual rate r on an investmenta P after t years is I = P rt The amount A in the account after t years is given by A = P + I = P + P rt = P (1 + rt) aCalled the principal Suppose, however, that six months into the year, you hear of a better deal at a rival bank.2 Naturally, you withdraw your money and try to invest it at the higher rate there. -

Deep Neural Networks for Choice Analysis: Architecture Design with Alternative-Specific Utility Functions Shenhao Wang Baichuan
Deep Neural Networks for Choice Analysis: Architecture Design with Alternative-Specific Utility Functions Shenhao Wang Baichuan Mo Jinhua Zhao Massachusetts Institute of Technology Abstract Whereas deep neural network (DNN) is increasingly applied to choice analysis, it is challenging to reconcile domain-specific behavioral knowledge with generic-purpose DNN, to improve DNN's interpretability and predictive power, and to identify effective regularization methods for specific tasks. To address these challenges, this study demonstrates the use of behavioral knowledge for designing a particular DNN architecture with alternative-specific utility functions (ASU-DNN) and thereby improving both the predictive power and interpretability. Unlike a fully connected DNN (F-DNN), which computes the utility value of an alternative k by using the attributes of all the alternatives, ASU-DNN computes it by using only k's own attributes. Theoretically, ASU- DNN can substantially reduce the estimation error of F-DNN because of its lighter architecture and sparser connectivity, although the constraint of alternative-specific utility can cause ASU- DNN to exhibit a larger approximation error. Empirically, ASU-DNN has 2-3% higher prediction accuracy than F-DNN over the whole hyperparameter space in a private dataset collected in Singapore and a public dataset available in the R mlogit package. The alternative-specific connectivity is associated with the independence of irrelevant alternative (IIA) constraint, which as a domain-knowledge-based regularization method is more effective than the most popular generic-purpose explicit and implicit regularization methods and architectural hyperparameters. ASU-DNN provides a more regular substitution pattern of travel mode choices than F-DNN does, rendering ASU-DNN more interpretable. -
Pseudo-Learning Effects in Reinforcement Learning Model-Based Analysis: a Problem Of
Pseudo-learning effects in reinforcement learning model-based analysis: A problem of misspecification of initial preference Kentaro Katahira1,2*, Yu Bai2,3, Takashi Nakao4 Institutional affiliation: 1 Department of Psychology, Graduate School of Informatics, Nagoya University, Nagoya, Aichi, Japan 2 Department of Psychology, Graduate School of Environment, Nagoya University 3 Faculty of literature and law, Communication University of China 4 Department of Psychology, Graduate School of Education, Hiroshima University 1 Abstract In this study, we investigate a methodological problem of reinforcement-learning (RL) model- based analysis of choice behavior. We show that misspecification of the initial preference of subjects can significantly affect the parameter estimates, model selection, and conclusions of an analysis. This problem can be considered to be an extension of the methodological flaw in the free-choice paradigm (FCP), which has been controversial in studies of decision making. To illustrate the problem, we conducted simulations of a hypothetical reward-based choice experiment. The simulation shows that the RL model-based analysis reports an apparent preference change if hypothetical subjects prefer one option from the beginning, even when they do not change their preferences (i.e., via learning). We discuss possible solutions for this problem. Keywords: reinforcement learning, model-based analysis, statistical artifact, decision-making, preference 2 Introduction Reinforcement-learning (RL) model-based trial-by-trial analysis is an important tool for analyzing data from decision-making experiments that involve learning (Corrado and Doya, 2007; Daw, 2011; O’Doherty, Hampton, and Kim, 2007). One purpose of this type of analysis is to estimate latent variables (e.g., action values and reward prediction error) that underlie computational processes. -

Logistic Growth Model www.ck12.org 10.1 Logistic Growth Model Here you will explore the graph and equation of the logistic function. Learning Objectives • Recognize logistic functions. • Identify the carrying capacity and inflection point of a logistic function. Logistic Models Exponential growth increases without bound. This is reasonable for some situations; however, for populations there is usually some type of upper bound. This can be caused by limitations on food, space or other scarce resources. The effect of this limiting upper bound is a curve that grows exponentially at first and then slows down and hardly grows at all. This is characteristic of a logistic growth model. The logistic equation is of the form: C C f (t) = 1+ab−t = 1+ae−kt The above equations represent the logistic function, and it contains three important pieces: C, a, and b. C determines that maximum value of the function, also known as the carrying capacity. C is represented by the dashed line in the graph below. 208 www.ck12.org Chapter 10. Logistic Models The constant of a in the logistic function is used much like a in the exponential function: it helps determine the value of the function at t=0. Specifically: C f (0) = 1+a The constant of b also follows a similar concept to the exponential function: it helps dictate the rate of change at the beginning and the end of the function. -

Neural Network Architectures and Activation Functions: A Gaussian Process Approach Sebastian Urban Technical University Munich 2017 ii Abstract The success of applying neural networks crucially depends on the network architecture being appropriate for the task. Determining the right architecture is a computationally intensive process, requiring many trials with different candidate architectures. We show that the neural activation function, if allowed to individually change for each neuron, can implicitly control many aspects of the network architecture, such as effective number of layers, effective number of neurons in a layer, skip connections and whether a neuron is additive or multiplicative. Motivated by this observation we propose stochastic, non-parametric activation functions that are fully learnable and individual to each neuron. Complexity and the risk of overfitting are controlled by placing a Gaussian process prior over these functions. The result is the Gaussian process neuron, a probabilistic unit that can be used as the basic building block for probabilistic graphical models that resemble the structure of neural networks.
