We consider the correlated multiarmed bandit (MAB) problem in which the rewards associated with each arm are modeled by a multivariate Gaussian random variable, and we investigate the influence of the assumptions in the Bayesian prior on the performance of the upper credible limit (UCL) algorithm and a new correlated UCL algorithm. We rigorously characterize the influence of accuracy, confidenc...

We provide proofs that were skipped in the main paper. We also provide some additional experimental results and related work concerning multi-armed bandits that was skipped in the main paper.
