A New Approach to Optimal Design under Model Uncertainty Motivated by Multi-Armed Bandits
受多臂老虎机启发的模型不确定性下最优设计
An optimal design is usually model-dependent and is sub-optimal if the postulated model is not correctly specified. Furthermore, it is far from ideal even if it is efficient for model selection but has a poor performance for estimating parameters in the selected model. In practice, it is common that a researcher has a list of candidate models at hand and a design has to be found that is efficient for both model discrimination and parameter estimation in the (unknown) “true”…
