Nonparametric Bayesian Policy Learning
非参数贝叶斯政策学习
I propose Nonparametric Bayesian Policy Learning (NBPL) as a framework for uncertainty-aware treatment choice. The key observation is that welfare is fully determined by a reduced-form distribution, so uncertainty about optimal policies entirely reflects uncertainty about this distribution. NBPL places a Dirichlet process prior on the reduced-form distribution and uses the resulting posterior for both traditional policy choice and inference on optimal welfare and optimal…
