Adversarial Estimation of Binary Configuration Probabilities under Sparse Dependence
稀疏依赖下二元配置概率的对抗估计
We consider the problem of estimating binary configuration probabilities, which is common in operations management applications, including product bundling, advertising, etc. Existing approaches typically model each assortment as a category and apply multinomial models to estimate the choice probabilities; while computationally convenient, these methods do not exploit independence structures in the joint distribution and may therefore be statistically inefficient when the…
