On the Error of Approximation by Means of Scenario Trees with Depth 1
Let¤n denote the set of scenario trees with depth 1 and n scenarios. LetX = (0 · x1 < . . . < xn · 1) and let¤n(X) denote the set of all scenario trees of depth 1 with the scenarios X = (0 · x1 < . . . < xn · 1). Let G be a probability distribution defined on [0, 1] and H be a subset of measurable functions defined on [0, 1]. Let dH,X(G) = inf ˜G∈¤n(X) dH(G, ˜ G) and dH(G) = inf ˜G∈¤n dH(G, ˜ G), where dH(G, ˜ G) := suph∈H ¯¯¯ R h dG − R h d˜G ¯¯¯ . The main goal of the paper is to estimate dH(G,X) and dH(G) in the case when the set H is a subset of all algebraical polynomials of degree · n. Thus, the paper is examined the error of approximation of a continuous distribution G by means of scenario trees with depth 1 and matching the first n moments.
