Risk diversification for infinitely divisible distributions

Peng Liu, Tiantian Mao

In this paper, we study the diversification properties of convex combinations of iid infinitely divisible random variables. For Lévy processes with bounded variation sample paths,…

Asymptotic Probabilities of Attaining the Maximum in Heterogeneous Gaussian Samples

Chunxu Zhang, Baiqi Miao, Tiantian Mao

We study asymptotic probabilities of attaining the maximum in heterogeneous Gaussian samples. In the two-group setting, the first sample has variance and size , while the…

Asymptotic Properties of Generalized Shortfall Risk Measures for Heavy-tailed Risks

Tiantian Mao, Gilles Stupfler, Fan Yang

We study a general risk measure called the generalized shortfall risk measure, which was first introduced in Mao and Cai (2018). It is proposed under the rank-dependent expected ut…

On Generalization and Regularization via Wasserstein Distributionally Robust Optimization

Qinyu Wu, Jonathan Yu-Meng Li, Tiantian Mao

Wasserstein distributionally robust optimization (DRO) has gained prominence in operations research and machine learning as a powerful method for achieving solutions with favorable…

A General Wasserstein Framework for Data-driven Distributionally Robust Optimization: Tractability and Applications

Jonathan Yu-Meng Li, Tiantian Mao

Data-driven distributionally robust optimization is a recently emerging paradigm aimed at finding a solution that is driven by sample data but is protected against sampling errors.…

Model Aggregation for Risk Evaluation and Robust Optimization

Tiantian Mao, Ruodu Wang, Qinyu Wu

We introduce a new approach for prudent risk evaluation based on stochastic dominance, which will be called the model aggregation (MA) approach. In contrast to the classic worst-ca…

Sums of Standard Uniform Random Variables

Tiantian Mao, Bin Wang, Ruodu Wang

In this paper, we analyze the set of all possible aggregate distributions of the sum of standard uniform random variables, a simply stated yet challenging problem in the literature…
