We introduce a methodology to infer players' unobserved multi-period strategies from their observed stage game actions in economic decision-making experiments. We use finite-state automata to model multi-period strategies by employing an algorithm that synthesizes a minimal state automaton from...

We propose the use of a new technique -- symbolic regression -- as a method for inferring the strategies that are being played by subjects in economic decision-making experiments. We begin by describing symbolic regression and our implementation of this technique using genetic programming. We...
