Abstract
Example implementations related to next state prediction and action selection are disclosed. In an example, an initial state is estimated based on a set of priors including at least one engagement opportunity. A diminishing effect of the at least one engagement opportunity is determined using a non-linear transformation and a set of likelihood estimates for the initial state is generated using a Bayesian steady state filter model that receives the initial state and the diminishing effect of the at least one engagement opportunity. A next state is predicted based on the initial state and the set of likelihood estimates.
