Game theory online prediction and boosting

We study the close connections between game theory, on-line prediction and boosting. After a brief review of game theory, we describe an algorithm for learning to play repeated games based on the on-line prediction methods of Littlestone and Warmuth.

We then show that the on-line prediction model is obtained by applying this gameplaying algorithm to an appropriate choice of game and that boosting is obtained by applying the same algorithm to the "dual" of this game. 1 INTRODUCTION The purpose of this paper is to bring out the close connections between game theory, on-line prediction and boosting.

Boosting Massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs) have gained increased popularity over the last decade. Despite the many positives of gaming, alleged problems relating to MMORPG playing have emerged, more specifically in relation to addiction to MMORPGs among a small minority of players. This study set out to establish the prevalence of MMORPG addiction using validated addiction criteria.
