Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The MINIMAX objective minimizes the maximum deviation from any goal. This means it focuses on identifying and minimizing the worst-case scenario deviation from achieving a goal, rather than trying to minimize all deviations equally. This helps in identifying areas where risks are high and prioritizing them for control or mitigation measures.
