We investigate risk-averse stochastic optimization problems with a risk-shaping constraint in the form of a stochastic-order relation. Both univariate and multivariate orders are considered. We extend ...

Multivariable predictive control technology increased oil and gas production by 4% from BP PLC's Marlin tension leg platform (TLP) in the Gulf of Mexico. While multivariable control technology is ...

This work presents an application of the EM-algorithm to two problems of estimation and testing in a multivariate normal distribution with missing data. The assumptions are that the observations are ...
