We consider the minimax setup for the two-armed bandit problem as applied to data processing if there are two alternative processing methods available with different a priori unknown efficiencies. One should determine the most effective method and provide its predominant application. To this end we ...
Suppose the arms of a two-armed bandit generate i.i.d. Bernoulli random variables with success probabilities ρ and λ respectively. It is desired to maximize the expected sum of N trials where N is fixed. If the prior distribution of (ρ, λ) is concentrated at two points (a, b) and...

According to the main theorem of the theory of games, we search minimax strategy and minimax risk for the two-armed bandit problem as Bayes' ones corresponding to the worst prior distribution. Incomes are assumed to be normally distributed with unit variances and mathematical ex- pectations depend...
We obtain minimax lower bounds on the regret for the classical two-armed bandit problem. We provide a finite-sample minimax version of the well-known log n asymptotic lower bound of Lai and Robbins (1985). Also, in contrast to the log n asymptotic results on the regret, we show that the...
