Modeling and prediction of human negotiation behavior in human-computer negotiation

作者:

Highlights:

• This study proposes a segmented linear regression Strategy (SLR) model, which can predict the opponent's future offer patterns.

• Segmented linear regression method can model complex concession behavior dynamically.

• A theoretical framework is built upon the hope-based and game-based negotiation theories.

• The model is validated empirically through computer-to-computer and human-to-computer negotiation experiments based on a prototype system.
