摘    要:This paper considers a multiproduct pricing problem under pure characteristics demand and the ambiguity of the true probability distribution. We formulate this problem as a distributionally robust optimization (DRO) problem based on a constructive approach to estimating pure characteristics demand models with pricing by Pang, Su and Lee. We show that the DRO problem is well-defined, and the objective function is upper semicontinuous by using an equivalent hierarchical form and the sparse solution in the consumers' purchase decision problem. We also analyze the data-driven approach when the ambiguity set is given by a general moment-based case. We give convergence results as the data size tends to infinity and analyze the quantitative statistical robustness in view of the possible contamination of driven data. Furthermore, we use the Lagrange duality to reformulate the DRO problem as a mathematical program with complementarity constraints, and give a numerical procedure for finding a global solution of the DRO problem under certain specific settings. Finally, we report numerical results that validate the effectiveness of our approach for the distributionally robust multiproduct pricing problem.
