Adaptive neyman allocation

J Zhao - arXiv preprint arXiv:2309.08808, 2023 - arxiv.org
In experimental design, Neyman allocation refers to the practice of allocating subjects into
treated and control groups, potentially in unequal numbers proportional to their respective …

An experimental design for anytime-valid causal inference on multi-armed bandits

B Liang, I Bojinov - arXiv preprint arXiv:2311.05794, 2023 - arxiv.org
Typically, multi-armed bandit (MAB) experiments are analyzed at the end of the study and
thus require the analyst to specify a fixed sample size in advance. However, in many online …

Achieving the pareto frontier of regret minimization and best arm identification in multi-armed bandits

Z Zhong, WC Cheung, VYF Tan - arXiv preprint arXiv:2110.08627, 2021 - arxiv.org
We study the Pareto frontier of two archetypal objectives in multi-armed bandits, namely,
regret minimization (RM) and best arm identification (BAI) with a fixed horizon. It is folklore …

Machine Learning-Guided Design of Non-Reciprocal and Asymmetric Elastic Chiral Metamaterials

L Yuan, E Lejeune, HS Park - arXiv preprint arXiv:2404.13215, 2024 - arxiv.org
There has been significant recent interest in the mechanics community to design structures
that can either violate reciprocity, or exhibit elastic asymmetry or odd elasticity. While these …
