On transforming an index for generalised bandit problems

Glazebrook K. D.,Greatrix S.

Abstract

Nash (1980) demonstrated that index policies are optimal for a class of generalised bandit problem. A transform of the index concerned has many of the attributes of the Gittins index. The transformed index is positive-valued, with maximal values yielding optimal actions. It may be characterised as the value of a restart problem and is hence computable via dynamic programming methodologies. The transformed index can also be used in procedures for policy evaluation.
