OPE in RL|强化学习中的离策略评估方法

原文：Empirical Study of Off-Policy Policy Evaluation for Reinforcement Learning

1. inverse propensity scoring ：IPS逆概率评分

IPS核心思想：通过行为策略和待评估策略的重要性采样比率，将历史数据中的奖励reward重新加权，目的是衡量在行为策略下奖励符合待评估策略的可能性。

IPS: 不适用于long horizon

IS:  improtance sampling

• unbiased

PDIS: per decision improtance sampling

WIS：weighted improtance sampling

• biased
• more accurate and data-efficient than IS

PDWIS: per decision weighted improtance sampling

• performs best during these four methods

2. direct methods: DM 直接方法

Generally,

FQE,

Q_pi(lamda),

IH:infinite horizon setting

Minimax-style estimators

3.Hybrid Methods (HM)

除了IH，每一种DM 都对应三种HM： standard doubly robust (DR), weighted doubly robust (WDR), and MAGIC

每一种DM：MAGIC>WDR>
