Monotone Comparative Statics under Uncertainty
This paper analyzes monotone comparative statics predictions in several classes of stochastic optimization problems. The main results characterize necessary and sufficient conditions for comparative statics predictions to hold based on properties of primitive functions, that is, utility functions and probability distributions. The results apply when the primitives satisfy one of the following t...
متن کاملHandling Uncertainty in Monotone Co-Design Problems
This work contributes to a compositional theory of “co-design” that allows to optimally design a robotic platform. In this framework, the user describes each subsystem as a monotone relation between “functionality” provided and “resources” required. These models can be easily composed to express the co-design constraints among different subsystems. The user then queries the model, to obtain the...
متن کاملRank-Dependent Probability Weighting in Sequential Decision Problems under Uncertainty
This paper is devoted to the computation of optimal strategies in automated sequential decision problems. We consider here problems where one seeks a strategy which is optimal for rank dependent utility (RDU). RDU generalizes von Neumann and Morgenstern’s expected utility (by probability weighting) to encompass rational decision behaviors that EU cannot accomodate. The induced algorithmic probl...
متن کاملMonotone Approximation of Decision Problems
Many decision problems exhibit structural properties in the sense that the objective function is a composition of different component functions that can be identified using empirical data. We consider the approximation of such objective functions, subject to general monotonicity constraints on the component functions. Using a constrained B-spline approximation, we provide a data-driven robust o...
متن کاملA practical approach to open-pit mine planning under price uncertainty using information gap decision theory
In the context of open-pit mine planning, uncertainties including commodity price would significantly affect the technical and financial aspects of mining projects. A mine planning that takes place regardless of the uncertainty in price just develops an optimized plan at the starting time of the mining operation. Given the price change over the life of mine, which is quite certain, optimality o...
