Currently, the presence of data uncertainty and noise raises critical issues to be handled on both theoretical and computational grounds. Therefore, robustification and robust optimization have gained attention from theoretical and practical points of view for the establishment of a modeling framework in mathematical optimization to immunize solutions against diverse uncertainties. Data of both the input and output variables, underlying the problems to be addressed, are affected by the noise of different kinds, such that standard statistical models alone may not be sufficient to ensure trustworthy results due to the complexity of the model. Consequently, we propose including parametric uncertainties reflecting future scenarios in multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS), which, in turn, show great promise for fitting nonlinear multivariate functions, where additive and interactive effects of the predictors are employed to assess the response variable. We robustify MARS through the usage of robust optimization techniques. Due to the large complexity of the underlying model in prior studies, we applied a so-called weak robustification. Now, we exploit a geometrical and combinatorial approach to allow for a more complete robustification, by formulating Robust MARS (RMARS) under Cross-Polytope Uncertainty. In this study, we use RMARS for energy data and demonstrate its superior performance through a simulation study.

RCMARS: Robustification of CMARS with different scenarios under polyhedral uncertainty set
Ozmen, Ayse; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm; Batmaz, İnci; Kropat, Erik (2011-12-01)
Our recently developed CMARS is powerful in handling complex and heterogeneous data. We include into CMARS the existence of uncertainty about the scenarios. Indeed, data include noise in both output and input variables. Therefore, solutions of the optimization problem may reveal a remarkable sensitivity to perturbations in the parameters of the problem. The data uncertainty results in uncertain constraints and objective function. To overcome this difficulty, we refine our CMARS algorithm by a robust optimiz...
Evaluation of classical and sparsity-based methods for parametric recovery problems
Başkaya, Hasan Can; Öktem, Figen S..; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2020)
Parametric reconstruction problems arise in many areas such as array processing, wireless communication, source separation, and spectroscopy. In a parametric recovery problem, the unknown model parameters in each superimposed signal are estimated from noisy observations. Classical methods perform the recovery over directly on the continuous-valued parameter space by solving a nonlinear inverse problem. Recently sparsity-based methods have also been applied to parametric recovery problems. These methods disc...

Kropat, Erik; Ozmen, Ayse; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm; Meyer-Nieberg, Silja; DEFTERLİ, ÖZLEM (2016-04-01)
Target-environment networks provide a conceptual framework for the analysis and prediction of complex regulatory systems such as genetic networks, eco-finance networks or sensor-target assignments. These evolving networks consist of two major groups of entities that are interacting by unknown relationships. The structure and dynamics of the hidden regulatory system have to be revealed from uncertain measurement data. In this paper, the concept of fuzzy target-environment networks is introduced and various f...
Robust optimization in spline regression models for multi-model regulatory networks under polyhedral uncertainty
Ozmen, Ayse; Kropat, Erik; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm (2017-01-01)
In our study, we integrate the data uncertainty of real-world models into our regulatory systems and robustify them. We newly introduce and analyse robust time-discrete target-environment regulatory systems under polyhedral uncertainty through robust optimization. Robust optimization has reached a great importance as a modelling framework for immunizing against parametric uncertainties and the integration of uncertain data is of considerable importance for the model's reliability of a highly interconnected ...
Multi-objective decision making using fuzzy discrete event systems: A mobile robot example
Boutalis, Yiannis; Schmidt, Klaus Verner (2010-09-29)
In this paper, we propose an approach for the multi-objective control of sampled data systems that can be modeled as fuzzy discrete event systems (FDES). In our work, the choice of a fuzzy system representation is justified by the assumption of a controller realization that depends on various potentially imprecise sensor measurements. Our approach consists of three basic steps that are performed in each sampling instant. First, the current fuzzy state of the system is determined by a sensor evaluation. Seco...
