Mean and covariance matrix adaptive estimation for a weakly stationary process. Application in stochastic optimization.
We introduce an adaptive algorithm to estimate the uncertain parameter of a stochastic optimization problem. The procedure estimates the one-step-ahead means, variances and covariances of a random process in a distribution-free and multidimensional framework when these means, variances and covariances are slowly varying on a given past interval. The quality of the approximate problem obtained … Read more
