Robust tuning of Robbins-Monro algorithm for quantile estimation - Application to wind-farm asset management

Résumé

In uncertainty quantification of numerical simulation model outputs, the classical approaches for quantile estimation requires the availability of the full sample of the studied variable. This approach is sometimes not suitable as large ensembles of simulation runs need to gather a prohibitively large amount of data and computer memory. This problem can be solved thanks to an on-the-fly (iterative) approach based on the Robbins-Monro algorithm. We numerically study this algorithm for estimating a discretized quantile function from samples of limited size (a few hundreds observations). We also define "robust" values of the algorithm parameters in two practical situations: when the final number of the model runs N is a priori fixed and when N is unknown in advance (it can then be minimized during the study in order to save cpu time cost). This method is applied to the estimation of indicators in the field of engineering asset management for offshore wind generation. We show how the proposed algorithm improves the efficiency of the tool to support risk informed decision making in the field of offshore wind generation.
