This paper introduces BEAST-GB, a hybrid model that combines the BEAST behavioural theory of risky choice with gradient-boosting machine learning, and shows it outperforms neural networks and dozens of existing models at predicting human decisions under risk and uncertainty, while also refining the underlying theory. The raw human data the paper releases are two datasets. exp0 (N = 240) is Experiment 2 of the CPC18 prediction competition run by the authors, i.e. the 60 held-out competition tasks (GameID 211–270): each participant faced one cohort (Set 8 or 9) of 30 tasks in random order and chose 25 times per task between two described lotteries, Option A and Option B (multi-outcome lotteries, ambiguity of Option B, and correlated payoffs are part of the task space), with no feedback in trials 1–5 and full feedback (obtained and forgone payoff) from trial 6; the 25 trials are pooled into 5 blocks of 5 for analysis. exp1 (N = 236) is the extensive-form-game data the paper's Supplementary Information re-analyses ("Additional datasets: Extensive form games"): the two choice prediction competitions of Ert, Erev & Roth (2011), 240 one-shot two-player games in four sets of 60 (estimation and prediction set of each competition), each played by 118 Player-1 participants (Stop/Continue, "Out"/"In" in the paper) and 118 Player-2 participants (Left/Right) under the strategy method. Note that CPC18's own second track (predicting individual decision makers) is not this data. Choices13k, HAB22, and the context-generalization analyses re-analyze previously published datasets and are excluded here. The response is a binary choice between prospects/game outcomes, and the study's central aim is predicting and generalizing human choice under risk.

Transcript
You will play a series of games. In each game you choose repeatedly between two lotteries, Option A and Option B, for 25 trials. For the first 5 trials of each game you get no feedback; from the 6th trial on, after each choice you see both the payoff you received and the payoff you would have received from the other option. In some games the probabilities of Option B's outcomes are not shown. On each trial, press A to choose Option A or B to choose Option B. Game (presentation 1): Option A pays 3. Option B pays 74 with probability 0.2, otherwise -20. Trial 0: You press A. (no feedback) Trial 1: You press A. (no feedback) Trial 2: You press A. (no feedback) Trial 3: You press B.
