Consistent Variance Estimation for Q-Function Estimators in Finite-Horizon MDP Tree Search
Zhenyu Yue, Jie Xu, Chun-Hung Chen +2
We study the variance of Q-function estimators in finite-horizon, finite-state Markov decision process (MDP) tree search. We show that the variance decomposes into three components…

Graph Generation Methods under Partial Information
Tong Sun, Jianshu Hao, Michael C. Fu +1
We study the problem of generating graphs with prescribed degree sequences for bipartite, directed, and undirected networks. We first propose a sequential method for bipartite grap…
