Data, models and decisions for large-scale stochastic optimization problems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Modern business decisions exceed human decision making ability: often, they are of a large scale, their outcomes are uncertain, and they are made in multiple stages. At the same time, firms have increasing access to data ... -
Data-driven algorithms for operational problems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)In this thesis, we propose algorithms for solving revenue maximization and inventory control problems in data-driven settings. First, we study the choice-based network revenue management problem. We propose the Approximate ... -
Data-driven approach to health care : applications using claims data
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Large population health insurance claims databases together with operations research and data mining methods have the potential of significantly impacting health care management. In this thesis we research how claims data ... -
Data-driven decision making in online and offline retail/
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020).Retail operations have experienced a transformational change in the past decade with the advent and adoption of data-driven approaches to drive decision making. Granular data collection has enabled firms to make personalized ... -
Data-driven dynamic optimization with auxiliary covariates
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)Optimization under uncertainty forms the foundation for many of the fundamental problems the operations research community seeks to solve. In this thesis, we develop and analyze algorithms that incorporate ideas from machine ... -
Data-driven methods for personalized product recommendation systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)The online market has expanded tremendously over the past two decades across all industries ranging from retail to travel. This trend has resulted in the growing availability of information regarding consumer preferences ... -
Data-driven models for uncertainty and behavior
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)The last decade has seen an explosion in the availability of data. In this thesis, we propose new techniques to leverage these data to tractably model uncertainty and behavior. Specifically, this thesis consists of three ... -
Data-driven optimization and analytics for operations management applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)In this thesis, we study data-driven decision making in operation management contexts, with a focus on both theoretical and practical aspects. The first part of the thesis analyzes the well-known newsvendor model but under ... -
Data-driven optimization with behavioral considerations : applications to pricing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)This thesis aims to introduce descriptive and predictive models that guide more informed pricing strategies in practice, drawing from interdisciplinary work of current OM, behavioral theories and recent machine learning ... -
Data-driven pricing and inventory management with applications in fashion retail
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)Fashion retail is typically characterized by (1) high demand uncertainty and products with short life cycles, which complicates demand forecasting, and (2) low salvage values and long supply lead times, which penalizes for ... -
Decision systems performance: an experimental investigation of computer-aided management decision making.
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1974) -
Decomposition methods for large scale stochastic and robust optimization problems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)We propose new decomposition methods for use on broad families of stochastic and robust optimization problems in order to yield tractable approaches for large-scale real world application. We introduce a new type of a ... -
Decoupling market incumbency from organizational experience : a study of biotechnology's impact on the market for anti-cancer drugs
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)In studies of creative destruction, scholars agree that, within research-intensive industries, the demise of incumbents is significantly determined by their lower productivity in researching the radically new technology ... -
Degradable airline scheduling : an approach to improve operational robustness and differentiate service quality
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)We present a methodology for deriving robust airline schedules that are not vulnerable to disruptions caused by bad weather. In this methodology, the existing schedule is partitioned into independent sub-schedules or layers ... -
Demand bubbles and phantom orders in supply chains
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)Essay One The Impact of Shortages on Push-Pull Production Systems This paper explores the impact of endogenous customer demand on supply chain instability. It investigates how a semiconductor manufacturer's hybrid push-pull ... -
Demand uncensored : car-sharing mobility services using data-driven and simulation-based techniques
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)In the design and operation of urban mobility systems, it is often desirable to understand patterns in traveler demand. However, demand is typically unobserved and must be estimated from available data. To address this ... -
Design and operation of a last mile transportation system
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)The Last Mile Problem refers to the provision of travel service from the nearest public transportation node to a home or office. Last Mile Transportation Systems (LMTS) are critical extensions to traditional public transit ... -
