New regression methods tackle DRO suboptimality with MRO and SNR

Researchers have developed new methods for multivariate least-squares regression that address the gap between distributionally robust optimization (DRO) and regret-optimal decision-making. The study focuses on scenarios where the observed and target data distributions differ by a small Wasserstein perturbation. While DRO can be suboptimal in certain cases, alternative procedures like minimax regret optimization (MRO) and spectral-norm regularization (SNR) are shown to achieve optimal rates. The paper also presents algorithms and finite-sample guarantees for these improved methods, supported by numerical experiments. AI
