Newsvendor problem analysis advances SAA regret bounds

This paper presents a generalized approach to analyzing the Sample Average Approximation (SAA) method for data-driven newsvendor problems. The authors extend previous work beyond linear-cost scenarios to more general convexity conditions, offering a unified regret analysis for sequential stochastic optimization. The research improves both upper and lower regret bounds, establishing the regret rate optimality of SAA and providing a benchmark for evaluating new algorithms in data-driven decision-making and inventory management.
