    Asymptotic Theory for IV-Based Reinforcement Learning with Potential Endogeneity

    Author: Jin Li, Ye Luo, Zigan Wang and Xiaowei Zhang | We identify a new type of bias in data analysis, termed reinforcement bias, and develop IV-based reinforcement learning algorithms to correct it. Additionally, we establish their theoretical properties by integrating them into a stochastic approximation framework. Our analysis accommodates iterate-dependent Markovian structures and, therefore,…
