Bayesian Learning via Stochastic Dynamics
The attempt to find a single "optimal" weight vector in conventional network training can lead to overfitting and poor generalization. Bayesian methods avoid this, without the need for a validation set, by averaging the outputs of many networks with weights sampled from the posterior distribution given the training data. This sample can be obtained by simulating a stochastic dynamical system th...
متن کاملOptimal Policy under Uncertainty and Learning about Climate Change: A Stochastic Dominance Approach
Global climate change presents a classic problem of decision making under uncertainty with learning. We provide stochastic dominance theorems that provide new insights into when abatement and investment into low carbon technology should increase in risk. We show that R&D into low-carbon technologies and near-term abatement are in some sense opposites in terms of risk. Abatement provides insuran...
متن کاملStochastic Dominance
The concept of Stochastic Dominance (SD) appeared in Economics in the context of the study of income distribution, where it provided various criteria for ranking income distributions according to classes of social welfare functions. Although stochastic dominance is still much in use for studies of income distribution and of poverty, more recently it has also found uses in financial economics, w...
متن کاملEstimation of Distribution Functions under Second Order Stochastic Dominance
The concept of stochastic ordering as introduced by Lehmann (1955) plays a major role in the theory and practice of statistics, and a large body of existing statistical work concerns itself with the problem of estimating distribution functions F and G under the constraint that F (x) ≤ G(x) for all x. Nevertheless in economic theory, the weaker concept of second order stochastic dominance plays ...
متن کاملNew Formulations for Optimization under Stochastic Dominance Constraints
Stochastic dominance constraints allow a decision-maker to manage risk in an optimization setting by requiring their decision to yield a random outcome which stochastically dominates a reference random outcome. We present new integer and linear programming formulations for optimization under first and second-order stochastic dominance constraints, respectively. These formulations are more compa...
