	Payoff matrix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A payoff matrix or payoff function is a concept in game theory which shows what payoff each player will receive at the outcome of the game.
		In this game there are two players and the numerical payoff for each player is the sentence (time in jail) measured in years of confinement; in this case, lower is better.
		Note that the payoff matrices themselves are not symmetric matrices however.

	Payoff Computation
		The way in which the payoff is computed depends on the type of payoff.
		In the case of Kalman filtering this is not true since the weight is one indication of the quality of the data relative to the model.
		The payoff is effectively always integrated using Euler integration.) The optimizer is designed to maximize the payoff, so variables for which more is better should be given positive weights and things for which less is better should be given negative weights.

	Why is payoff bigger than loan?
		You can shop rates on Bankrate and use Bankrate's auto loan calculator to compare the total interest expense on your current loan with the interest expense on the new loan.
		For your loan payoff to be more than the loan amount means that the loan has a big prepayment penalty, a host of add-ins like credit life insurance, or both.
		That's why you need to discuss the payoff balance with the lender, and if his answers aren't satisfactory, with the lender's regulators.

		The period of retrenchment that followed brought a focus on hard ROI that often underestimated the true payoff and led to bad decisions.
		The payoff depends on the unique adoption patterns of the relevant decision makers and motivators for each application, and the barriers to adoption each will face.

		At the time the decision must be made the decision maker assumes that one of the columns represents the actual decision situation, but her or she does not know which column is the correct one.
		The cells of the matrix represent payoffs that the decision maker would receive if he or she chose the action represented by a particular row and the actual state of nature were the one represented by a particular column.
		If action A has a better payoff than action B under each individual state of nature, then we say that action B is stochastically dominated by action A.

	The Payoff From Globalization
		Unfortunately for the cause of continued liberalization, Americans do not receive this money as a check marked "payoff from globalization." Instead, the payoff is hidden within familiar channels: fatter paychecks, lower prices and better product choices (compare the telephones available now with the standard fl model of 1980).
		No single trade or investment agreement can confer the entire range of benefits on Americans; instead, the prize requires steady liberalization -- through agreements such as CAFTA and the World Trade Organization's Doha round, each providing a steppingstone toward the eventual goal.
		Despite the huge payoff to the United States, maintaining political support for trade liberalization has never been easy.
