摘要：Split liver transplantation (SLT) is a procedure that potentially saves two lives using one liver, increasing the total benefit derived from the limited number of donated livers available. SLT may also improve equity by giving transplant candidates who are physically smaller (including children) increased access to liver transplants. However, SLT is rarely used in the United States. To help quantify the benefits of increased SLT utilization and provide decision support tools, we introduce a de...

摘要：The liner shipping network design (LSND) problem involves creating regular ship rotations to transport containerized cargo between seaports. The objective is to maximize carrier profit by balancing revenue from satisfied demand against operating and transshipment costs. Finding an optimal solution is challenging because of complex rotation structures and joint decisions on fleet deployment, cargo routing, and rotation design. This work introduces a set partitioning-like formulation for LSND wi...

摘要：We consider dynamic pricing with covariates under a generalized linear demand model: A seller can dynamically adjust the price of a product over a horizon of T time periods, and at each time period t, the demand of the product is jointly determined by the price and an observable covariate vector xt is an element of Rd through a generalized linear model with unknown coefficients. Most of the existing literature assumes the covariate vectors xts are independently and identically distributed (i.i...

摘要：In this work, we study a natural nonparametric estimator of the transition probability matrices of a finite controlled Markov chain. We consider an off-line setting with a fixed data set of size m, collected using a so-called logging policy. We develop sample complexity bounds for the estimator and establish conditions for minimaxity. Our statistical bounds depend on the logging policy through its mixing properties. We show that achieving a particular statistical risk bound involves a subtle a...

摘要：In a single-parameter mechanism design problem, a provider is looking to sell some service to a group of potential buyers. Each buyer i has a private value vi for receiving this service, but a feasibility constraint restricts which buyers can be simultaneously served. Recent work in economics introduced (deferred-acceptance) clock auctions as a superior class of auctions for this problem due to their transparency, simplicity, and strong incentive guarantees. Subsequent work focused on evaluati...
