Minimax Regret Capacity Identification

  • Conference paper
Advances in Computational Intelligence (IPMU 2012)

Abstract

We study the minimax-regret version of the Choquet integral maximization problem. Our main result is to show that there always exist a capacity such that the robust solution is also a maximizer of the Choquet integral with respect to this capacity. However, in contrast to additive decision models (the case of several priors) it is not always a global one.
