I'm a little stuck on how to rank slot machines in the below problem?
1.) You are presented with 100 slot machines
2.)Each one has a different utilitiy cost U for each pull
3.)Each machine has a Beta distribution Bi with parameters a and b and a scaling factor s that determines payoffs
4.)When using the slot machine, a player pays U utility, and then receives a payoff that equals a draw from Bi multiplied by S.
Does anyone know how they would rank these machines? I have an idea to calculate the mode of each machine, but that doesn't really take into account the utility cost of each pull and the scaling factor.
