PLANNING UNDER UNCERTAINTY REGRET THEORY by Ahmed Aseeri April 2, 2014
MINIMAX REGRET ANALYSIS • It’s a feeling… • … measurable .
MINIMAX REGRET ANALYSIS • If chosen decision is the best Zero regret • Nothing is better than the best No negetive Regret
MINIMAX REGRET ANALYSIS Motivating Example • Traditional way Maximize Average…select A • Optimistic decision maker MaxiMax … select C • Pessimistic decision maker MaxiMmin … select D
MINIMAX REGRET ANALYSIS Motivating Example • Calculate regret: find maximum regret • A … regret = 8 @ low market • C … regret = 9 @ low market • D … regret = 10 @ high market • B … regret = 7 @ medium market • MINIMAX B • In general, gives conservative decision but not pessimistic.

MINIMAX REGRET ANALYSIS Limitations on Regret Theory • It is not necessary that equal differences in profit would always correspond to equal amounts of regret: $1000 - $1050 = 50 $100 - $150 = 50 • A small advantage in one scenario may lead to the loss of larger advantages in other scenarios. • May select different preferences if one of the alternatives was excluded or a new alternative is added.
versus instead of: 1050-1000 = 50 150-100 = 50 versus CONCLUSION Suggested improvements to minimax-regret criterion: • Minimizing the average regret instead of minimizing the maximum. • Minimizing the upper regret average instead of the maximum only. • Measure relative regret instead of absolute regret:
