Generating Ambiguity in the Laboratory

What is it about?

This article develops a method for drawing samples from a distribution with no finite quantiles or moments. The method provides researchers with a way to give subjects the experience of ambiguity; learning the distribution from experience is impossible for the subjects, essentially because it is impossible for the experimenter

This method provides researchers with a way to give subjects the experience of ambiguity, in the same sense that allowing subjects to flip a coin provides a way to give them the experience of probability.
