Abstract
In this chapter, an overview of the scenario generation problem is given. After an introduction, the basic problem of measuring the distance between two single-period probability models is described in Section 15.2. Section 15.3 deals with finding good single-period scenarios based on the results of the first section. The distance concepts are extended to the multi-period situation in Section 15.4. Finally, Section 15.5 deals with the construction and reduction of scenario trees.
