Abstract
A computer-implemented method is provided for policy evaluation. In the method, the utility of the given decision-making policy is estimated based on a dataset of state-action-reward-state tuples, a set of candidate bootstrapping estimators of the fitted Q-evaluation (FQE) algorithm, and a criterion function. The method automatically selects the best bootstrapping estimator from the candidates based on the criterion function and, when the criterion function is appropriately designed, it produces a good policy-value estimate such that the estimation error is small (below a threshold).
