Stochastic Earned Value Analysis using Monte Carlo Simulation and Statistical Learning Techniques
The aim of this paper is to describe a new an integrated methodology for project control under uncertainty. This proposal is based on Earned Value Methodology and risk analysis and presents several refinements to previous methodologies. More specifically, the approach uses extensive Monte Carlo simulation to obtain information about the expected behavior of the project. This dataset is exploited in several ways using different statistical learning methodologies in a structured fashion. Initially, simulations are used to detect if project deviations are a consequence of the expected variability using Anomaly Detection algorithms. If the project follows this expected variability, probabilities of success in cost and time and expected cost and total duration of the project can be estimated using classification and regression approaches.

Inference Networks for Sequential Monte Carlo in Graphical Models
We introduce a new approach for amortizing inference in directed graphical models by learning heuristic approximations to stochastic inverses, designed specifically for use as proposal distributions in sequential Monte C…
Adaptive Multilevel Stochastic Approximation of the Value-at-Risk
Cr\'epey, Frikha, and Louzi (2023) introduced a multilevel stochastic approximation scheme to compute the value-at-risk of a financial loss that is only simulatable by Monte Carlo. The optimal complexity of the scheme is…
Power Mean Estimation in Stochastic Monte-Carlo Tree_Search
Monte-Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) is a widely-used strategy for online planning that combines Monte-Carlo sampling with forward tree search. Its success relies on the Upper Confidence bound for Trees (UCT) algorithm, an ext…
Is Monte Carlo Tree Search Just Every-Visit Monte Carlo Control?
Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) and every-visit Monte Carlo (MC) control are usually presented as different methods. MCTS is described in the language of search (selection, expansion, simulation, and backup), whereas MC c…
Reinforcement LearningToward an efficient hybrid method for pricing barrier options on assets with stochastic volatility
We combine the one-dimensional Monte Carlo simulation and the semi-analytical one-dimensional heat potential method to design an efficient technique for pricing barrier options on assets with correlated stochastic volati…
