Evolutionary Multi-stage Financial Scenario Tree Generation
نویسنده
چکیده
Multi-stage financial decision optimization under uncertainty depends on a careful numerical approximation of the underlying stochastic process, which describes the future returns of the selected assets or asset categories. Various approaches towards an optimal generation of discrete-time, discrete-state approximations (represented as scenario trees) have been suggested in the literature. In this paper, a new evolutionary algorithm to create scenario trees for multi-stage financial optimization models will be presented. Numerical results and implementation details conclude the paper.

Algorithmic Aspects of Scenario-Based Multi-stage Decision Process Optimization
Multi-stage decision optimization under uncertainty depends on a careful numerical approximation of the underlying stochastic process, which describes the future uncertain values on which the decision will depend on. The quality of the scenario model severely affects the quality of the solution of the optimization model. Various approaches towards an optimal generation of discrete-state approxi...
