On Rates of Convergence for Stochastic Optimization Problems Under Non-I.I.D. Sampling

In this paper we discuss the issue of solving stochastic optimization problems by means of sample average approximations. Our focus is on rates of convergence of estimators of optimal solutions and optimal values with respect to the sample size. This is a well-studied problem in case the samples are independent and identically distributed (i.e., when … Read more
