Setting the optimal limit value of motor insurance coverage by stochastic optimization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
In this paper, we provide an alternative to a passive approach to the selection of insurance products or policy con-ditions. Specifically, we propose a method to make a decision about the optimal limit value for motor insurance coverage.

A Continuation Multilevel Monte Carlo algorithm [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We propose a novel Continuation Multi Level Monte Carlo (CMLMC) algorithm for weak approximation of stochastic models. The CMLMC algorithm solves the given approximation problem for a sequence of decreasing tolerances, ending when the required error ...

Design of micromachines under uncertainty with the sample-average approximation method

open access: yesJournal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems, and Manufacturing
Variability in the features produced by microfabrication processes, as well as uncertainty in some material properties, may cause a significant deviation in the performance of micromachines within the same fabrication run.

Coupling Importance Sampling and Multilevel Monte Carlo using Sample Average Approximation [PDF]

open access: yesMethodology and Computing in Applied Probability, 2017
In this work, we propose a smart idea to couple importance sampling and Multilevel Monte Carlo (MLMC). We advocate a per level approach with as many importance sampling parameters as the number of levels, which enables us to compute the different levels independently.

A Bilateral Tradeoff Decision Model for Wind Power Utilization with Extensive Load Scheduling

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2019
In this paper, we present the extensive load scheduling problem with intermittent and uncertain wind power availability. A chance-constrained bilateral tradeoff decision model is established to solve the problem.

Non-asymptotic confidence bounds for the optimal value of a stochastic program [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We discuss a general approach to building non-asymptotic confidence bounds for stochastic optimization problems. Our principal contribution is the observation that a Sample Average Approximation of a problem supplies upper and lower bounds for the ...
