How much Data do We Need? Sequential Data Collection for Stochastic Programming
Xin Li, Juergen Branke, Xuan Vinh Doan
Data-driven optimization often requires collecting data to estimate uncertain model parameters before solving the underlying decision problem. In practice, however, data acquisitio…
