CVXR is an R package that provides an object-oriented modeling language for convex optimization, similar to CVX, CVXPY, YALMIP, and Convex.jl. It allows the user to formulate convex optimization problems in a natural mathematical syntax rather than the restrictive form required by most solvers. The user specifies an objective and set of constraints by combining constants, variables, and parameters using a library of functions with known mathematical properties. CVXR then applies signed disciplined convex programming (DCP) to verify the problem's convexity. Once verified, the problem is converted into standard conic form using graph implementations and passed to a cone solver such as ECOS or SCS. We demonstrate CVXR's modeling framework with several applications.read more

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated how the dynamics of new COVID-19 infections estimated based on wastewater monitoring or confirmed cases compare to true COVID19 incidence dynamics, and they focused on the first pandemic wave in Switzerland (February to April, 2020), when test positivity ranged up to 26%.

Differentiating Through a Conic Program
TL;DR: This work considers the problem of efficiently computing the derivative of the solution map of a convex cone program, when it exists by implicitly differentiating the residual map for its homogeneous self-dual embedding, and solving the linear systems of equations required using an iterative method.

Fair regression for health care spending
Anna Zink,Sherri Rose +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a new fair regression method for continuous outcomes by building fairness considerations directly into the objective function and proposed a novel measure of fairness while asserting that a suite of metrics is necessary in order to evaluate risk adjustment formulas more fully.

Decentralized cooperative scheduling of prosumer flexibility under forecast uncertainties
TL;DR: A bottom-up framework for cooperative flexibility scheduling that relies on a decentralized network of scheduling agents to perform a coordinated decision-making and select a subset of households’ net load schedules that fulfills the techno-socio-economic prosumer objectives in the resource operation modes and ensures the reliability of the grid is introduced.

Solution refinement at regular points of conic problems
TL;DR: In this paper, a matrix-free method called LSQR is proposed to refine an approximate solution of a conic program, and often dramatically, at a computational cost that is typically small compared to the cost of obtaining the original approximate solution.
