UCB for Large-Scale Pure Exploration: Beyond Sub-Gaussianity

Zaile Li, Weiwei Fan, L. Jeff Hong

Selecting the best alternative from a finite set is the central objective of ranking and selection (R&S) and best arm identification (BAI). Traditional R&S or BAI approaches have p…

Sequential Additivity in Distributionally Robust Ranking and Selection

Zaile Li, Yuchen Wan, L. Jeff Hong

Ranking and selection (R&S) seeks to identify the alternative with the best mean performance from a finite collection of simulated alternatives. Its practical value depends on accu…

New Additive OCBA Procedures for Robust Ranking and Selection

Yuchen Wan, Zaile Li, L. Jeff Hong

Robust ranking and selection (R&S) is an important and challenging variation of conventional R&S that seeks to select the best alternative among a finite set of alternatives. It ca…

The (Surprising) Sample Optimality of Greedy Procedures for Large-Scale Ranking and Selection

Zaile Li, Weiwei Fan, L. Jeff Hong

Ranking and selection (R&S) aims to select the best alternative with the largest mean performance from a finite set of alternatives. Recently, considerable attention has turned tow…
