A Game-Theoretic Model of TV Show "The Voice"
This paper proposes a game-theoretic model of the two-player best-choice problem with incomplete information. The players (experts) choose between objects by observing their quality in the form of two components forming a sequence of random variables (x i , y i ), i = 1,..., n. By assumption, the first quality component x i is known to the players and the second one y i is hidden. A player accepts or declines an object based on the first quality component only. A player with the maximal sum of the components becomes the winner in the game. The optimal strategies are derived in the cases of independent and correlated quality components.
