Regret for Unknown Distribution
Description
This code explains the regret incurred by a controller for hedging against the worst-case distributions of the uncertainties instead of the true distributions of the uncertainties.
Associated Paper
V. Renganathan et al, ``Regret analysis sis for Risk-aware Linear Quadratic Control'', Submitted to L4DC 2023.
Dependencies To Run The Code
CVXPY is needed for running the code. Interested reader should install the CVXPY python package. Apart fron that the multivariate Laplacian distribution implementation given in the code is obtained from an open source.
Authors and acknowledgment
