Abstract

A new algorithm is proposed for generating scenarios from a partially specified symmetric multivariate distribution. The algorithm generates samples which match the first two moments exactly, and match the marginal fourth moments approximately, using a semidefinite programming procedure. The performance of the algorithm is illustrated by a numerical example.
