Swap regret is a concept from game theory. It is a generalization of regret in a repeated, n-decision game.

Definition

A player's swap-regret is defined to be the following:

swap-regret = i = 1 n max j n 1 T t = 1 T x i t ( p j t p i t ) .

Intuitively, it is how much a player could improve by switching each occurrence of decision i to the best decision j possible in hindsight. The swap regret is always nonnegative.

Swap regret is useful for computing correlated equilibria.
