Primes¶
- Minimax Strategy
- And in biology, bet-hedging strategies favoring guaranteed survival of the worst season read as minimax-like.
This sourceDefines evolutionary bet-hedging as sacrificing mean fitness to reduce fitness variance — favoring guaranteed survival of the worst season, a minimax-like strategy.
- And in biology, bet-hedging strategies favoring guaranteed survival of the worst season read as minimax-like.
- Mixed Strategy
- In biology bet-hedging strategies (persister cells, variable foraging, frequency-dependent polymorphisms) are biological mixed strategies against environmental unpredictability and against parasites, though the "adversary" here is sometimes an impersonal environment rather than a strategic opponent.
This sourceDefines bet-hedging as a strategy of randomized phenotypes against environmental unpredictability; the biological analogue of mixed strategies.
