Bayesian Linear Programming

Bayesian Linear Programming (BLP) integrates Bayesian statistical inference with classical linear programming to handle uncertainty in model parameters such as objective function coefficients, constraint coefficients, or right-hand-side values. Instead of treating parameters as fixed or governed by worst-case bounds, BLP uses prior beliefs updated by data to form posterior distributions, which then guide the LP formulation and solution, producing decisions that are optimal in a probabilistic, data-informed sense.
