Optimal Stopping Problem with Several Search Areas
The present paper deals with an optimal stopping problem with several possible search areas in which travel costs are assumed among the areas. In terms of the future availability of an offer once obtained and passed up, the following two cases are considered: (1) it becomes instant.ly and forever unavailable and (2) it remains forever available, called a no recall model and a recall model. resp...
متن کاملDoes Domain Knowledge Influence Search Stopping Behavior?
This research study investigated whether users’ level of domain knowledge influenced their decision to stop information searches. Stopping behavior was investigated using a convenience sample of 15 thirdand fourth-year undergraduate students at a large university. Subjects completed a series of self-assessments about background information and levels of knowledge regarding four search domains. ...
متن کاملSample Efficient Policy Search for Optimal Stopping Domains
Optimal stopping problems consider the question of deciding when to stop an observation-generating process in order to maximize a return. We examine the problem of simultaneously learning and planning in such domains, when data is collected directly from the environment. We propose GFSE, a simple and flexible model-free policy search method that reuses data for sample efficiency by leveraging p...
متن کاملOptimal Stopping and Applications
These notes are intended to accompany a Graduate course on Optimal stopping, and in places are a bit brief. They follow the book ‘Optimal Stopping and Freeboundary Problems’ by Peskir and Shiryaev, and more details can generally be found there.
متن کاملOptimal search behavior and classic foraging theory
Random walk methods and diffusion theory pervaded ecological sciences as methods to analyze and describe animal movement. Consequently, statistical physics was mostly seen as a toolbox rather than as a conceptual framework that could contribute to theory on evolutionary biology and ecology. However, the existence of mechanistic relationships and feedbacks between behavioral processes and statis...
