Validating Sample Average Approximation Solutions with Negatively Dependent Batches
Sample-average approximations (SAA) are a practical means of finding approximate solutions of stochastic programming problems involving an extremely large (or infinite) number of scenarios. SAA can also be used to find estimates of a lower bound on the optimal objective value of the true problem which, when coupled with an upper bound, provides confidence intervals for the true optimal objectiv...
متن کاملRobust sample average approximation
Sample average approximation (SAA) is a widely popular approach to data-driven decisionmaking under uncertainty. Under mild assumptions, SAA is both tractable and enjoys strong asymptotic performance guarantees. Similar guarantees, however, do not typically hold in finite samples. In this paper, we propose a modification of SAA, which we term Robust SAA, which retains SAA’s tractability and asy...
متن کاملUncertainty in Sample Average Approximation
We consider stochastic optimization problems in which the input probability distribution is not fully known, and can only be observed through data. Common procedures handle such problems by optimizing an empirical counterpart, namely via using an empirical distribution of the input. The optimal solutions obtained through such procedures are hence subject to uncertainty of the data. In this pape...
متن کاملA Critical Note on Empirical (Sample Average, Monte Carlo) Approximation of Solutions to Chance Constrained Programs
The solution of chance constrained optimization problems by means of empirical approximation of the underlying multivariate distribution has recently become a popular alternative to conventional methods due to the efficient application of appropriate mixed integer programming techniques. As the complexity of required computations depends on the sample size used for approximation, exponential es...
متن کاملOptimal Budget Allocation for Sample Average Approximation
The sample average approximation approach to solving stochastic programs induces a sampling error, caused by replacing an expectation by a sample average, as well as an optimization error due to approximating the solution of the resulting sample average problem. We obtain estimators of an optimal solution and the optimal value of the original stochastic program after executing a finite number o...
