An example of anchoring and adjustment is a car salesman beginning negotiations with a very high price (that is arguably well above thefair value). Because the high price is an anchor, the final price will tend to be higher than if the car salesman had offered a fair or low price to st...
revival of the classical custom of using the neuter plural of adjectives with Greek -ikos "pertaining to" (see -ic) to mean "matters relevant to" and also as the titles of treatises about them. Subject matters that acquired their English names before c. 1500, however, tend to be singular...

The familiarity heuristic refers to how people tend to have more favorable opinions of things, people, or places they've experienced before as opposed to new ones. In fact, given two options, people may choose something they're more familiar with even if the new option provides more benefits....
When individuals use this heuristic they tend to assume that the properties of a small sample that they are familiar with is characteristic of the large population from which the sample was drawn. For example, an eminent colleague told us that up to quite late in his childhood he believed ...
“That’s when youknowhow to solve the problem. When you don’t, Polya’s suggestions—heuristics—can get you started. They don’t always work, but they tend to be pretty powerful, and when one doesn’t work, you try another one. You never know which questions or ideas will help yo...
The availability heuristic describes the mental shortcut in which someone estimates whether something is likely to occur based on how readily examples come to mind. People tend to overestimate the probability of plane crashes, homicides, and shark attacks, for instance, because examples of such event...
Our three perturbation heuristics tend to produce better quality solution than alternative heuristics. One exception arises in the CTPP where CPH is surpassed by LPMAH, a constraint generation LP-based heuristic requiring a heavier programming machinery. On the whole, our implementation of the ...
This type of self-organising mechanism uses heuristics to optimise heuristics. Many discussions focus on the quality of solutions of the problems obtained from the hyper-heuristics, very little discussion concentrates on the generated algorithms themselves. Some hyper-heuristic frameworks tend to be ...
In this paper, we analyze a suite of 7 well-known branching heuristics proposed by the SAT community and show that the better heuristics tend to generate more learnt clauses per decision, a metric we define as the global learning rate (GLR).(定义为全局学习率的度量标准) Like our previous ...
