摘要翻译:
我们研究了具有光滑的发散罚函数和光滑的凹目标函数的鲁棒经验优化问题的样本外性质,并发展了一个控制与名义模型偏差大小的非负“鲁棒性参数”Delta的数据驱动校准理论。基于鲁棒优化通过控制报酬分布的扩散来降低期望报酬对模型中误差的敏感性的直觉,我们证明了“一点点鲁棒性”的一阶收益(即$\delta$小,正)显著降低了样本外报酬的方差,而相应的对均值的影响几乎小了一个数量级。一个含义是,如果鲁棒性参数被适当地校准,显著的方差(灵敏度)降低是可能的,代价很小。为此,我们引入了鲁棒均值-方差前沿的概念来选择鲁棒性参数,并证明了它可以用重采样方法来逼近,如Bootstrap。我们的例子表明,由“开环”校准方法(例如,无论数据和目标函数如何,选择$90%$置信度)得到的鲁棒解可能是非常保守的样本外,而对应于不考虑方差而优化样本外期望回报估计的鲁棒性参数(例如,通过引导)的鲁棒性参数通常是不够鲁棒的。

英文摘要:
We study the out-of-sample properties of robust empirical optimization problems with smooth $\phi$-divergence penalties and smooth concave objective functions, and develop a theory for data-driven calibration of the non-negative "robustness parameter" $\delta$ that controls the size of the deviations from the nominal model. Building on the intuition that robust optimization reduces the sensitivity of the expected reward to errors in the model by controlling the spread of the reward distribution, we show that the first-order benefit of ``little bit of robustness" (i.e., $\delta$ small, positive) is a significant reduction in the variance of the out-of-sample reward while the corresponding impact on the mean is almost an order of magnitude smaller. One implication is that substantial variance (sensitivity) reduction is possible at little cost if the robustness parameter is properly calibrated. To this end, we introduce the notion of a robust mean-variance frontier to select the robustness parameter and show that it can be approximated using resampling methods like the bootstrap. Our examples show that robust solutions resulting from "open loop" calibration methods (e.g., selecting a $90\%$ confidence level regardless of the data and objective function) can be very conservative out-of-sample, while those corresponding to the robustness parameter that optimizes an estimate of the out-of-sample expected reward (e.g., via the bootstrap) with no regard for the variance are often insufficiently robust.
