Reference to Game Theory
editAs explained in the article, Wald's Maximin model was inspired by the Maximin model used in game theory, but is different. In the framework of Wald's model, Player 1 plays first and Player 2 knows (when she selects her decision) what decision was selected by Player 1. I therefore deleted the reference to game theory in the preamble. Sniedo (talk) 02:47, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
- Game theory includes games where a player may have partial or complete knowledge of another other player's moves, such as: chess, bridge, poker, checkers, go, etc.. JRSpriggs (talk) 09:31, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
- Double check this. Wald's model (1939) was developed after the maximin model that was used much earlier in game theory. The distinction is important, and this is why Wald's name is attached to it. The Maximin model that was used in game theory at that time was not Wald's model. Sniedo (talk) 13:18, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
