eih – expected payo (u7lity, performance, total score) for (of) the alterna+ve Ai and the occured hypothesis Zh.
eih = wAi (Zh )

Mixed Op+mist-Pessimist Method

• This criterion is a combina+on of the Max-Min and Max-Max rules.
• Hurwitz proposed a weigh+ng coe cient „alpha“ selected from the interval from 0 to 1
– the coe cient of op+mism.
• This criterion stands for an intermediate posi+on between the pessimism and op+mism

Coe cient in Hurwitz must be selected in acoordance with the DM‘s considera+ons: the more dangeros the situa+on is, the safer the decision maker
wants to go, and the larger value of this coe cient he takes. |
49 |
Minimizing Regret
This strategy is used if a player (DM) wants to decrease her/his loss
1) Find the maximal u+lity (payo ) value for each state of nature:
eh * = max{eih} = max{eih |
Zh } |
|
2) Set up loss matrix (regret matrix) |
– |
subtract the numbers in each column from the largest |
number in that column: |
|
Payo matrix |
w(eih ) = eh * −eih ;
3) Pick the ac+on with minimal regret:
e( A*) = min max w(eih ).
