Bounded Parameter Markov Decision Processes Bounded Parameter Markov Decision Processes
In this paper, we introduce the notion of a bounded parameter Markov decision process as a generalization of the traditional exact MDP. A bounded parameter MDP is a set of exact MDPs speciied by giving upper and lower bounds on transition probabilities and rewards (all the MDPs in the set share the same state and action space). Bounded parameter MDPs can be used to represent variation or uncert...
متن کاملLearning Qualitative Markov Decision Processes Learning Qualitative Markov Decision Processes
To navigate in natural environments, a robot must decide the best action to take according to its current situation and goal, a problem that can be represented as a Markov Decision Process (MDP). In general, it is assumed that a reasonable state representation and transition model can be provided by the user to the system. When dealing with complex domains, however, it is not always easy or pos...
متن کاملAccelerated decomposition techniques for large discounted Markov decision processes
Many hierarchical techniques to solve large Markov decision processes (MDPs) are based on the partition of the state space into strongly connected components (SCCs) that can be classified into some levels. In each level, smaller problems named restricted MDPs are solved, and then these partial solutions are combined to obtain the global solution. In this paper, we first propose a novel algorith...
متن کاملAmbiguity and underwriter decision processes
This paper provides empirical evidence that risk and ambiguity affect underwriters' decisions on pricing insurance. A field study of primary-insurance underwriters in a random sample of commercial property-and-casualty insurance companies reveals that premiums are significantly higher for risks when there is either ambiguity regarding the probability of a particular event occurring and/or uncer...
متن کاملRobust Decision-making Under Ambiguity
Most of management research, following on the paradigm of expected utility theory, has developed complex models of optimal managerial action in the presence of uncertainty. Still, the assumption that managers assign probabilities to outcomes, and consequently optimize their actions has come under criticism from a number of empirical studies. Researchers, working on probability assessments, have...
