Kristian Lum explores the consequences of a novel probabilistic model of dating:
Let there be n princes in the pool, the ith of whom has utility to the princess pi. pi is determined by the prince's covariates xi linearly such that pi = si β where β is unknown to the princess. After having sampled prince i, she reads his utility to her centered at his true utility but with variance σ2/ti, where ti is the length of her relationship with prince i…
The punch line has an optimal dating strategy and some awesome graphs. Read the entire post to learn more about better living through computer simulation.
