Abstract

We propose a minirnax model with a quadratic recourse. In stochastic linear programming models, a decision maker has been assumed to know the probability distribution of random variables. Here we consider the case that the parameters of distribution are unknown. We impose the restrictions on the unknown parameters from the view point of a confidence region, and then seek a minimax solution that minimizes the worst case of the parameters. This model reflects the situation minimizing the maximal possible damage. Especially, the independent normal distribution model is discussed in detail. The analysis for a sufficiently large sample size and a numerical result are given.
