Average Max. There are M Linear Loss scenario functions (every Linear Loss scenario function is defined by a Matrix of Scenarios). A new Maximum Loss scenarios function is calculated by maximizing losses over Linear Loss functions (over M functions for every scenario).  Average Max is calculated by averaging Maximum Loss scenarios.

 

Syntax

avg_max_risk(matrix_1,matrix_2,...,matrix_M)

short call

avg_max_risk_name(matrix_1,matrix_2,...,matrix_M)

call with optional name

 

Parameters

matrix_m        is a Matrix of Scenarios:

       

where the header row contains names of variables (except scenario_probability, and scenario_benchmark). Other rows contain numerical data. The scenario_probability, and scenario_benchmark columns are optional.

.

Mathematical Definition

Average Max function is calculated as follows

,

where:

is Average Loss function,

M =  number of random Loss Functions ,

 = vector of random coefficients for m-th Loss Function;

 = j-th scenario of the random vector ,

is a random function with scenarios .

 

Every Loss Function is defined by a separate matrix of scenarios and has an equal number of scenarios J.

Probability of scenario  is defined by the first matrix.

is an argument of Average Max function.
