One of the Reasons We Cannot Use Sensitivity Analysis for an Integer

question 58

True/False

One of the reasons we cannot use sensitivity analysis for an integer linear program is that the shadow prices do not produce linear effects.That is, although in a linear program the shadow price for a resource represents the marginal improvement for each added unit of that resource, in an integer linear program, we cannot assume that each added unit of a resource will produce the same marginal change.

Definitions:

Intermittent Reinforcement

A conditioning schedule where a response is only sometimes rewarded, leading to more resilient behavior compared to continuous reinforcement.

Continuous Reinforcement

A reinforcement schedule in which a reward follows every correct response, aiding in the rapid learning of a behavior.

Secondary Reinforcement

A concept in conditioning that involves stimuli which, though not naturally rewarding, become reinforcing through their association with primary reinforcers.

Primary Reinforcement

A term in behavioral psychology referring to a stimulus that satisfies a biological need, leading to an increase in the likelihood of a specific response.
