A relative interval-regret analysis method for regional ecosystem planning – a case study of Dongying, China

Abstract

A relative interval-regret analysis (RIRA) method is developed for regional ecosystem management under uncertainty through incorporating interval-parameter programming (IPP) and minimax relative regret (MRR) analysis techniques within a general framework. RIRA can handle uncertainties expressed as intervals and random variables without knowing probability distributions and only needs a list of possible scenarios that may occur; it can also …
