Efficient Identification of the Pareto Optimal Set
Steponavice, Ingrida; Hyndman, Rob J; Smith-Miles, Kate; … - Department of Econometrics and Business Statistics, … - 2014
In this paper, we focus on expensive multiobjective optimization problems and propose a method to predict an approximation of the Pareto optimal set using classification of sampled decision vectors as dominated or nondominated. The performance of our method, called EPIC, is demonstrated on a set...

Efficient Skewness/Semivariance Portfolios
Brito, Rui Pedro; Sebastião, Hélder; Godinho, Pedro - Grupo de Estudos Monetários e Financeiros (GEMF), … - 2015
This paper proposes a new way to measure and deal with risk within the portfolio selection problem using a skewness/semivariance biobjective optimization framework. The solutions of this biobjective optimization problem allow the investor to analyse the efficient trade-off between skewness and...
