contents In large-scale, data-driven applications, parameters are often only known approximately due to noise and limited data samples. In this paper, we focus on high-dimensional optimization problems with linear constraints under uncertain conditions. To find high quality solutions for which the violation of the true constraints is limited, we develop a linear shrinkage method that blends random matrix theory and robust optimization principles. It aims to minimize the Frobenius distance between the estimated and the true parameter matrix, especially when dealing with a large and comparable number of constraints and variables. This data-driven method excels in simulations, showing superior noise resilience and more stable performance in both obtaining high quality solutions and adhering to the true constraints compared to traditional robust optimization. Our findings highlight the effectiveness of our method in improving the robustness and reliability of optimization in high-dimensional, data-driven scenarios.
