minimax optimization
1Minimax estimator — In statistical decision theory, where we are faced with the problem of estimating a deterministic parameter (vector) from observations an estimator (estimation rule) is called minimax if its maximal risk is minimal among all estimators of . In a… …
2Minimax — This article is about the decision theory concept. For other uses, see Minimax (disambiguation). Minimax (sometimes minmax) is a decision rule used in decision theory, game theory, statistics and philosophy for minimizing the possible loss for a… …
3Ordinal optimization — In mathematical optimization, ordinal optimization is the maximization of functions taking values in a partially ordered set ( poset ). Ordinal optimization has applications in the theory of queuing networks. Contents 1 Mathematical foundations 1 …
4Category:Optimization algorithms — An optimization algorithm is an algorithm for finding a value x such that f(x) is as small (or as large) as possible, for a given function f, possibly with some constraints on x. Here, x can be a scalar or vector of continuous or discrete values …
5Info-gap decision theory — is a non probabilistic decision theory that seeks to optimize robustness to failure – or opportuneness for windfall – under severe uncertainty,[1][2] in particular applying sensitivity analysis of the stability radius type[3] to perturbations in… …
6Alpha-beta pruning — is a search algorithm which seeks to reduce the number of nodes that are evaluated in the search tree by the minimax algorithm. It is a search with adversary algorithm used commonly for machine playing of two player games (Tic tac toe, Chess, Go …

8operations research — the analysis, usually involving mathematical treatment, of a process, problem, or operation to determine its purpose and effectiveness and to gain maximum efficiency. [1940 45, Amer.] * * * Application of scientific methods to management and… …
9Regret (decision theory) — Regret (often also called opportunity loss) is defined as the difference between the actual payoff and the payoff that would have been obtained if a different course of action had been chosen. This is also called difference regret. Furthermore,… …
