Tóm tắt: Drought events are the second most expensive type of natural disasters within the French legal framework of the natural disasters compensation scheme. We develop a new methodology to anticipate which cities will request a declaration of natural disaster for a drought event, a key step of the national compensation scheme. The methodology hinges on optimal transport theory and an inertial proximal algorithm for nonconvex optimization. The optimization problem is designed so as to yield a sparse vector of predictions because it is known that relatively few cities will make the request. |
