AbstractWe propose a convex optimization based strategy to deal with uncertainty
in the observations of a classification problem. We assume that instead
of a sample (xi , yi ) a distribution over (xi , yi ) is specified. In particu-
lar, we derive a robust formulation when the distribution is given by a
normal distribution. It leads to Second Order Cone Programming formu-
lation. Our method is applied to the problem of missing data, where it
outperforms direct imputation. [Edit]
