Minimax: Fundamentals and Applications
About this audiobook
What Is Minimax
In artificial intelligence, decision theory, game theory, statistics, and philosophy, minmax is a decision rule that is used to minimize the probable loss for a worst case scenario. When discussing profits, one may often hear the term "maximin" used, which stands for "maximizing the minimum gain." It was initially developed for the theory of several-player zero-sum games, including both the circumstances in which players take alternate movements and those in which they make simultaneous actions. Since then, however, it has been expanded to more complicated games as well as to general decision-making in the presence of uncertainty.
