How to simulate a contextual bandit in Python
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…Browse by section
