内容简介：

We will discuss some of the myths and misunderstandings in Operations Management Data Analytics (OMDA). These topics are:

1.Robust optimization is optimal (we really need a discussion on ‘what is a robust solution’)

2.Robust satisfying is better than robust optimization

3.Importance of robust optimization vs regularized optimization

4.Importance of distance measures – Divergence measures vs Wasserstein distance

5.Data pooling always brings benefit

6.Policies with asymptotically minimal regret are ‘optimal’ and

Machine learning algorithms can predict consumer choice probabilities without structure.
