Reduction of noise within a cluster-based approach for item (such as ad) allocation, such as by using a linear program, is described. In one embodiment, probabilities are discretized into a predetermined number of groups, where the mean for the group that a particular probability has been discretized into is substituted for the particular probability when the items are being allocated. In another embodiment, the probabilities are decreased by a power function of the variances for them. In a third embodiment, allocation of items to clusters is not changed unless the sample sizes used to determine the corresponding probabilities for those ads is greater than a threshold. In a fourth embodiment, after allocation is performed a first time, a predetermined number of item are removed, and reallocation is performed.
