Roberto Imbuzeiro Oliveira, IMPA, Rio de Janeiro, will be speaking at a seminar on the topic of "Sample average approximation with heavier tails."
Contact Olga Turanova (turanova@msu.edu) for more information.
Consider an "ideal" optimization problem where constraints and objective function are defined in terms of expectations over some distribution P. The sample average approximation (SAA) -- a fundamental idea in stochastic optimization -- consists of replacing the expectations by an average over a sample from P. A key question is how much the solutions of the SAA differ from those of the original problem. more information...
