Abstract

A common approach in coping with multiperiod optimization problems under uncertainty where statistical information is not really strong enough to support a stochastic programming model, has been to set up and analyze a number of scenarios. The aim then is to identify trends and essential features on which a robust decision policy can be based. This paper develops for the first time a rigorous algorithmic procedure for determining such a policy in response to any weighting of the scenarios. The scenarios are bundled at various levels to reflect the availability of information, and iterative adjustments are made to the decision policy to adapt to this structure and remove the dependence on hindsight.
