Inferring to cooperate: Evolutionary games with Bayesian inferential strategies by Arunava Patra, Supratim Sengupta, Ayan Paul, Sagar Chakraborty

“…We find that a Bayesian strategy that is less altruistic than the inferred belief about the opponent’s strategy can outperform a larger set of reactive strategies, whereas one that is more generous than the inferred belief is more successful when the benefit-to-cost ratio of mutual cooperation is high. Our analysis reveals how learning the opponent’s strategy through Bayesian inference, as opposed to utility maximization, can be beneficial in the long run, in preventing exploitation and eventual invasion by reactive strategies.…”
