Multi-armed bandit problem with precedence relations
, 2006 Consider a multi-phase project management problem where the decision maker needs to deal with two issues: (a) how to allocate resources to projects within each phase, and (b) when to enter the next phase, so that the total expected reward is as large as ...

The Spend-It-All Region and Small Time Results for the Continuous Bomber Problem [PDF]
, 2010 A problem of optimally allocating partially effective ammunition $x$ to be used on randomly arriving enemies in order to maximize an aircraft's probability of surviving for time~$t$, known as the Bomber Problem, was first posed by \citet{Klinger68}. They

Inverse sampling and triangular sequential designs to compare a small proportion with a reference value [PDF]
, 2002 Inverse sampling and formal sequential designs may prove useful in reducing the sample size in studies where a small population proportion p is compared with a hypothesized reference proportion p0. These methods are applied to the design of a cytogenetic

Spatially-adaptive sensing in nonparametric regression
, 2013 While adaptive sensing has provided improved rates of convergence in sparse regression and classification, results in nonparametric regression have so far been restricted to quite specific classes of functions.

Asymptotics in randomized urn models
, 2005 This paper studies a very general urn model stimulated by designs in clinical trials, where the number of balls of different types added to the urn at trial n depends on a random outcome directed by the composition at trials 1,2,...,n-1.

A fuzzy hybrid sequential design strategy for global surrogate modeling of high-dimensional computer experiments [PDF]
, 2015 Complex real-world systems can accurately be modeled by simulations. Evaluating high-fidelity simulators can take several days, making them impractical for use in optimization, design space exploration, and analysis.

, 2012 The present paper deals with the problem of allocating patients to two competing treatments in the presence of covariates or prognostic factors in order to achieve a good trade-off among ethical concerns, inferential precision and randomness in the ...

Woodroofe's one-armed bandit problem revisited
, 2009 We consider the one-armed bandit problem of Woodroofe [J. Amer. Statist. Assoc. 74 (1979) 799--806], which involves sequential sampling from two populations: one whose characteristics are known, and one which depends on an unknown parameter and ...

Corrected confidence intervals for secondary parameters following sequential tests
, 2006 Corrected confidence intervals are developed for the mean of the second component of a bivariate normal process when the first component is being monitored sequentially.

Bandit Problems With Infinitely Many Arms [PDF]
, 1997 We consider a bandit problem consisting of a sequence of n choices from an infinite number of Bernoulli arms, with n → ∞. The objective is to minimize the long-run failure rate. The Bernoulli parameters are independent observations from a distribution F.
