"The Shapley Value: A Solution to Fair Distribution"

The Shapley Value is a concept in game theory that helps determine how to fairly distribute rewards among individuals who collaborate in a group. It considers each person's contribution to the overall success of the collaboration, taking into account all possible ways they could work together. By calculating each person's average marginal contribution across all scenarios, the Shapley Value provides a method to allocate resources or benefits in a way that reflects each individual's input, ensuring that everyone is compensated fairly based on their involvement. It is widely used in economics, negotiation, and cooperative situations.
