An agent wants to derive her belief over outcomes based on past observations collected in her database (memory). There is well establish evidence in the psychology and marketing literature that agents consistently fail (or choose not) to process all available information. An agent might be...

We provide an axiomatic approach to a belief formation process in an informational environment characterized by limited, heterogenous and differently precise information. For a list of previously observed cases an agent needs to express her belief by assigning probabilities to possible outcomes....

The key constraint we impose, which is shared across models of Bayesian learning, is that any learning … Dean 2015) and the NIAS condition (Caplin and Martin 2015) to allow for arbitrary learning.
