为决策提供可信赖的最优性概率评估,无需假设数据分布。

Conformalized Decision Risk Assessment

  • 基于逆可行域和共形预测,构建决策最优性的概率下界。
  • 在有限样本下给出分布无关的保守估计,准确率高且计算高效。
  • 适用于各类优化问题,尤其适合不确定环境下需提前决策的场景。

在许多实际决策场景中,决策者必须在不确定性揭晓前做出选择,但现有优化工具很少能量化某个决策在各种可能情景下保持(近似)最优的概率。本文提出CREDO——面向决策优化的共形风险估计框架,一种无需分布假设的方法,用于估算给定决策在不确定性实现下仍为最优的可能性。CREDO通过逆可行域(即决策为最优的输出集合)重构决策风险,并利用条件生成模型生成的共形预测球构建内部近似,从而获得决策最优性的有限样本、分布无关的下界。该方法具有模型无关性,广泛适用于多种优化问题。大量数值实验表明,CREDO在不同优化设置下均能提供准确、高效且可靠的决策最优性评估。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

In many operational settings, decision-makers must commit to actions before uncertainty resolves, but existing optimization tools rarely quantify how consistently a chosen decision remains optimal across plausible scenarios. This paper introduces CREDO -- Conformalized Risk Estimation for Decision Optimization, a distribution-free framework that quantifies the probability that a prescribed decision remains (near-)optimal across realizations of uncertainty. CREDO reformulates decision risk through the inverse feasible region -- the set of outcomes under which a decision is optimal -- and estimates its probability using inner approximations constructed from conformal prediction balls generated by a conditional generative model. This approach yields finite-sample, distribution-free lower bounds on the probability of decision optimality. The framework is model-agnostic and broadly applicable across a wide range of optimization problems. Extensive numerical experiments demonstrate that CREDO provides accurate, efficient, and reliable evaluations of decision optimality across various optimization settings.
