Analysis of strategy prediction for participants group in a multiple-players game

Abstract

In a game situation where her/his gain is affected by their strategies, a person needs to make decisions with predicting the strategies of others. In a multiple-players game, however, it is difficult to read all of the strategy by each player other than oneself, and it may be possible that some heuristic methods are used to win the game, which has not been investigated. We used Conflict Game to identify how each player predicted the strategies of other players by comparing with the outputs of several models for decision making. As a result, it is suggested that a player did not predict all the strategies by other players.
