Direct Gradient-Based Reinforcement Learning: I. Gradient Estimation Algorithms
Abstract Despite their many empirical successes, approximate value-function based approaches to reinforcement learning suffer from a paucity of theoretical guarantees on the performance of the policy generated by the value-function. In this paper we pursue an alternative approach: first compute the gradient of the average reward with respect to the parameters controlling the state transitions i...
متن کاملGradient Based Smoothing Parameter Selection for Nonparametric Regression Estimation*
Data-driven bandwidth selection based on the gradient of an unknown regression function is considered. Uncovering gradients nonparametrically is of crucial importance across a broad range of economic environments such as determining risk premium or recovering distributions of individual preferences. The procedure developed here is shown to deliver bandwidths which have the optimal rate of conve...
متن کاملUnbiased gradient estimation in queueing networks with parameter-dependent routing
A stochastic queueing network model with parameter-dependent service times and routing mechanism, and its related performance measures are considered. An estimate of performance measure gradient is proposed, and rather general sufficient conditions for the estimate to be unbiased are given. A gradient estimation algorithm is also presented, and its validity is briefly discussed. Key-Words: queu...
متن کاملHybrid Stock Models and Parameter Estimation
Abstract In this work, we study a class of hybrid models for the stock market to account for the coexistence of continuous dynamics and discrete events. Different from the original geometric Brownian motion models, both the rate of return and the volatility in the hybrid model depend on a continuous-time Markov chain. This model can deal with random volatility by incorporating market trend with...
متن کاملParameter Estimation By Genetic Algorithms
Most of the existing parameter estimation methods require much auxiliary information and is not easy to handle for practical applications. In this paper , we use genetic algorithms, which are becoming an important tool for optimization problems, to estimate parameters in nonlinear regression models. The computational experiments indicate that this genetic based method is useful, eeective and ad...
