For maximin
The Maximin approach is the maximum of the minimum payoffs from all the alternatives. This means we need to find the worst case for each alternative. then out of all the worst case payoffs, we need to elect the best payoffs. This is known as the conservative approach.
For the given scenario, the maximin outcome is = 50 for the one as below
Compliance | Worst | Maximin | ||||
No. of examiners | Low | Normal | High | |||
One | 50 | 50 | 50 | 50 | Best among all the worst payoffs is 50. Thus as per maximin criteria, we need to select the best among all the worst in each alternatives. | |
Two | 100 | 60 | 20 | 20 | ||
Three | 150 | 70 | -10 | -10 |
The Net revenue under the worst case scenario for the three examiners is -10 payoffs, for the high compliance category. Because in Three Examiners scenario, the high category got the worst case pay-off. Thus High category with (-10) as the worst case pay off Three Examiner scenario.
For minmax
We need to prepare the regret table. The regret basically means that if we choose an option and possibly better option could have been chosen then that is our regret. For example if we choose one and the compliance is low then our regret will be 150-50 = 100
So basically it is the difference between the cell and the highest value in the column. The regret table is shown below
Original | |||
Low | Normal | High | |
One | 50 | 50 | 50 |
Two | 100 | 60 | 20 |
Three | 150 | 70 | -10 |
Regret table | |||
Low | Normal | High | |
One | 100 | 20 | 0 |
Two | 50 | 10 | 30 |
Three | 0 | 0 | 60 |
The maximum regret if one examiners selected is 100. This will happen if the compliance is low.
