Abstract
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 of iterations of an optimization algorithm applied to the sample average problem. We examine the convergence rate of the estimators as the computing budget tends to infinity, and characterize the allocation policies that maximize the convergence rate in the case of sublinear, linear, and superlinear convergence regimes for the optimization algorithm.

    Reliability-based design optimization using buffered failure probability 

    Basova, Habib Gurkan (Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2010-06);
    Reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) seeks the best design for a structural system under uncertainty. Typically, uncertainty arises from random loads such as wind pressure and random material properties such as ...

    Efficient Sample Sizes in Stochastic Nonlinear Programming 

    Polak, E.; Royset, J.O. (2008);
    We consider a class of stochastic nonlinear programs for which an approximation to a locally optimal solution is speci_ed in terms of a fractional reduction of the initial cost error. We show that such an approximate ...

    ONLINE LEARNING OF MARKOVIAN SYSTEMS WITH CENSORED POISSON ARRIVALS 

    Gibbons Mac-Lean, Cedric G. (Monterey, CA; Naval Postgraduate School, 2021-06);
    This thesis deals with online optimization of discrete performance measures in Markovian models with incomplete information. We consider a setting where a physical realization of the model is sequentially obtained over a ...
