Ranking and Selection with Covariates for Personalized Decision Making

We consider a ranking and selection problem in the context of personalized decision making, where the best alternative is not universal but varies as a function of observable …

Distributionally Robust Selection of the Best

Specifying a proper input distribution is often a challenging task in simulation modeling. In practice, there may be multiple plausible distributions that can fit the input data …

Data-Driven Ranking and Selection: High-dimensional Covariates and General Dependence

This paper considers the problem of ranking and selection with covariates (R&S-C), which is first introduced by Shen et al. (2017) and aims to identify a decision rule that …

Ranking and Selection with Covariates

We consider a new ranking and selection problem in which the performance of each alternative depends on some observable random covariates. The best alternative is thus not constant …

Sequential Sampling for Bayesian Robust Ranking and Selection

We consider a Bayesian ranking and selection problem in the presence of input distribution uncertainty. The distribution uncertainty is treated from a robust perspective. A naive …

Robust Selection of the Best

Classical ranking-and-selection (R&S) procedures cannot be applied directly to select the best decision in the presence of distributional ambiguity. In this paper we propose a …
