The dual values and change in the variables values

For a constraint as Ax <= b, the dual shows the change in the objective function if the RHS increases by 1 unit. Now my question is that how we can determine how the optimal values will change by 1 ...

How to find robust counterpart of sum of logit functions?

Suppose function $\mu_i(y):\mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is a logit function, $\mu_i(y)=1/(1+\exp(-y))$. Also, we assume that $\mathbf{x}_i\in \mathbb{R}^d$ and $\theta \in \mathbb{R}^d$. I am ...
