Table 4.

Predicted preference patterns according to Inline graphic and Inline graphic for Cash I and Cash II. For each pattern, we provide the corresponding ranking of gambles (from best to worst), and the portion of the algebraic parameter space corresponding to each preference (based on a grid search), up to and rounded to the first significant nonzero digit. The precision and range of our grid search were as follows: Inline graphic: α, γ ∈ [0.01, 1], step size 0.01. Inline graphic: α, γ ∈ [0.001, 0.991], step size 0.01; s ∈ [0.01, 9.96], step size 0.05. When two gambles were assigned numerical values differing by less than 10−20, no prediction was made (100 cases of Cash I and 101 cases of Cash II, this occurred in Inline graphic only).
