Methods for Modeling Regret of Parameterization Choices

This poster presents the core modeling idea behind the park-access project: parameter choices are not neutral, and optimization recommendations can change substantially when those choices shift. The work uses regret as a way to study that sensitivity rather than hiding it.

Contribution: helped articulate parameterization regret as a practical decision-support issue rather than a purely technical modeling detail.

Method: compared alternative modeling choices in a park-location setting and used regret-based reasoning to evaluate the robustness of resulting recommendations.

Result and impact: sharpened the broader research direction that now anchors my work: optimization models should expose important assumption risk instead of burying it.
