Abstract

A lot of decisions that are made during an agent’s behavior computation include randomized choices (e.g., see Chap. 2 and 5). This chapter argues in favor of a “fair” random choice and points out that the computation of an alternative’s utility should be focused instead of empirically tuning choice parameters of less informed selection methods.
