Epsilon Greedy Bandit Mock in Python
A simple epsilon-greedy multi-armed bandit simulation that balances exploration and exploitation to estimate true means of several Bernoulli-like reward distributions.
import random
class Bandit:
def __init__(self, true_mean):
self.true_mean = true_mean
self.estimated_mean = 0.0
self.n_pulls = 0
def pull(self):
return random.gauss(self.true_mean, 1.0)
def update(self, reward):
self.n_pulls += 1
self.estimated_mean += (r…Generate a Mock Multi-Armed Bandit Report in Python
Simulate a multi-armed bandit experiment with random pulls and rewards, then output a JSON report with per-arm statistics.
import random
import json
def generate_mock_bandit_report(num_arms=5, num_rounds=100, seed=42):
random.seed(seed)
arms = ["A", "B", "C", "D", "E"][:num_arms]
true_means = {arm: random.uniform(0.3, 0.7) for arm in arms}
pulls = {arm: 0 for arm in arms}
rewards = {arm: 0 for arm in arms}

Simulate a contextual multi-armed bandit with random features and epsilon-greedy action selection in Python.
import random
class ContextualBandit:
def __init__(self, n_actions=3, n_features=4):
self.n_actions = n_actions
self.n_features = n_features
self.theta = [random.random() for _ in range(n_actions * n_features)]
def mock_context(self):
return [random.uniform(-1, 1) for _ in ra…Thompson Sampling Mock Bandit in Python
Implement a Thompson sampling multi-armed bandit to explore and exploit reward probabilities across multiple options, updating Beta distributions over time.
import random
class ThompsonSamplingBandit:
def __init__(self, num_arms, alpha=1.0, beta=1.0):
self.num_arms = num_arms
self.alpha = [alpha] * num_arms
self.beta = [beta] * num_arms
def select_arm(self):
samples = [random.betavariate(a, b) for a, b in zip(self.alpha, self.beta…UCB1 Bandit Algorithm in Python
This code implements the UCB1 multi-armed bandit algorithm, balancing exploration and exploitation to identify the best arm while maximizing cumulative reward.
import math
import random
def ucb1(means, n_iterations=1000, exploration_weight=2.0):
"""Run UCB1 bandit algorithm on arms with given true means."""
n_arms = len(means)
counts = [0] * n_arms
rewards = [0.0] * n_arms
for t in range(1, n_iterations + 1):
