A Deficiency of the Weighted Sample Average Approximation (wSAA) Framework: Unveiling the Gap between Data-Driven Policies and Oracles
This paper critically examines the weighted sample average approximation (wSAA) framework, a widely used approach in prescriptive analytics for managing uncertain optimization problems featuring non-linear objectives. Our research pinpoints a key deficiency of the wSAA framework: when data samples a...
