Domain-specific

• Probability Weighting Function
  • Its curvature captures sensitivity to changes in p; its elevation captures generally optimistic or pessimistic weighting; its boundary treatment captures possibility and certainty effects

    This sourceGonzalez and Wu, for the two-parameter reading of the weighting function - curvature as how finely a chooser discriminates probabilities, elevation as how attractive gambling appears - established for the domain of gains; the boundary effects are not a third parameter in their account.
