A Sample Approximation Approach for Optimization with Probabilistic Constraints
We study approximations of optimization problems with probabilistic constraints in which the original distribution of the underlying random vector is replaced with an empirical dis...

Context-Specific Independence in Directed Relational Probabilistic Models and its Influence on the Efficiency of Gibbs Sampling
Abstract. There is currently a large interest in relational probabilistic models. While the concept of context-specific independence (CSI) has been well-studied for models such as ...

The Sample Average Approximation Method for Stochastic Discrete Optimization
In this paper we study a Monte Carlo simulation based approach to stochastic discrete optimization problems. The basic idea of such methods is that a random sample is generated and...

A particle swarm optimization approach for estimating parameter confidence regions
Point estimates of the parameters in real world models convey valuable information about the actual system. However, parameter comparisons and/or statistical inference requires de...

Robot trajectory optimization using approximate inference
The general stochastic optimal control (SOC) problem in robotics scenarios is often too complex to be solved exactly and in near real time. A classical approximate solution is to ...
