Robust counterparts of errors-in-variables problems

Linear data fitting problems with uncertain data which lie in a given uncertainty set are considered. A robust counterpart of such a problem may be interpreted as the problem of finding a solution which is best over all possible perturbations of the data which lie in the set. In particular, robust c...

Description
Summary:Linear data fitting problems with uncertain data which lie in a given uncertainty set are considered. A robust counterpart of such a problem may be interpreted as the problem of finding a solution which is best over all possible perturbations of the data which lie in the set. In particular, robust counterparts of total least squares problems have been studied and good algorithms are available. Robust counterparts of the problems considered as errors-in-variables problems are considered, when it is appropriate to work directly with the uncertain variable values. It is shown how the original problems can be replaced by convex optimization problems in fewer variables for which standard software may be applied.
