Response Adaptive Designs that Incorporate Switching Costs and Constraints
This paper examines the design and performance of sequential experiments where extensive switching is undesirable. Given an objective function to optimize by sampling between Bernoulli populations, two different models are considered. The constraint model restricts the maximum number of switches possible, while the cost model introduces a charge for each switch. Optimal allocation procedures an...
متن کاملOnline Learning with Switching Costs and Other Adaptive Adversaries
We study the power of different types of adaptive (nonoblivious) adversaries in the setting of prediction with expert advice, under both full-information and bandit feedback. We measure the player’s performance using a new notion of regret, also known as policy regret, which better captures the adversary’s adaptiveness to the player’s behavior. In a setting where losses are allowed to drift, we...
متن کاملInformation Technology and Switching Costs Information Technology and Switching Costs
Switching costs, the real or perceived cost of changing product providers, has become increasingly important in information-intensive businesses. Reduced search and transactions costs have made it possible for customers to more readily evaluate alternative suppliers, increasing switching. At the same time, the high fixed cost structure of customer acquisition and operations in information-inten...
متن کاملApplication of adaptive sampling in fishery part 1: Adaptive cluster sampling and its strip designs
Abstract: The precision of conventional sampling designs is not usually satisfactory for estimating parameters of clump and rare populations. Many of fish species live in school and disperse all over a vast area like a sea so that they are rare compare to their habitats. Theory of a class of sampling designs called adaptive sampling designs has rapidly grown during last decade which solv...
متن کاملAlgorithms for response adaptive sampling designs
An experimental design is a formula or algorithm that specifies how resources are to be utilized throughout a study. The design is considered to be good or even optimal if it allows for sufficiently precise and accurate data analysis with the least output of resources such as time, money and experimental units. Most experimental designs use fixed sampling procedures in which the sample sizes an...
