Random Sampling of States in Dynamic Programming
We combine three threads of research on approximate dynamic programming: sparse random sampling of states, value function and policy approximation using local models, and using lo...

Materialized Sample Views for Database Approximation
We consider the problem of creating a sample view of a database table. A sample view is an indexed, materialized view that permits efficient sampling from an arbitrary range query...

A Sample Approximation Approach for Optimization with Probabilistic Constraints
We study approximations of optimization problems with probabilistic constraints in which the original distribution of the underlying random vector is replaced with an empirical dis...

The Sample Average Approximation Method for Stochastic Discrete Optimization
In this paper we study a Monte Carlo simulation based approach to stochastic discrete optimization problems. The basic idea of such methods is that a random sample is generated and...
