Stochastic programming approach to optimization under uncertainty
In this paper we discuss computational complexity and risk averse approaches to two and multistage stochastic programming problems. We argue that two stage (say linear) stochastic ...

Assessing solution quality in stochastic programs
Determining if a solution is optimal or near optimal is fundamental in optimization theory, algorithms, and computation. For instance, Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions provide necessa...

Runtime Verification for High-Confidence Systems: A Monte Carlo Approach
We present a new approach to runtime verification that utilizes classical statistical techniques such as Monte Carlo simulation, hypothesis testing, and confidence interval estima...

Convergence theory for nonconvex stochastic programming with an application to mixed logit
Monte Carlo methods have been used extensively in the area of stochastic programming. As with other methods that involve a level of uncertainty, theoretical properties are required...

Iterative Markov Chain Monte Carlo Computation of Reference Priors and Minimax Risk
We present an iterative Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm for computing reference priors and minimax risk for general parametric families. Our approach uses MCMC techniques based...
