| Many real-world decision problems arising in engineering and management have uncertain parameters, whose probability distributions is unknown. This motivates us to formulate decision problems as a game: the decision-maker first chooses a decision; then, some fictitious adversarial player (e.g., ``nature'') selects a probability distribution from a prescribed ambiguity set with the goal to inflict maximum harm. Under this model, the decision-maker prepares for the worst-case distribution in the ambiguity set.
In recent years, there has been significant interest in ambiguity sets including all probability distributions within a given Wasserstein distance from a benchmark distribution (e.g., the empirical distribution defined by observed samples), mainly because of their computational tractability and of their attractive statistical guarantees; see~\cite{peyman}.
