A Knowledge-Gradient Policy for Sequential Information Collection
In a sequential Bayesian ranking and selection problem with independent normal populations and common known variance, we study a previously introduced measurement policy which we ...

Information Collection on a Graph
We derive a knowledge gradient policy for an optimal learning problem on a graph, in which we use sequential measurements to refine Bayesian estimates of individual edge values i...

Consistency of Sequential Bayesian Sampling Policies
We consider Bayesian information collection, in which a measurement policy collects information to support a future decision. This framework includes ranking and selection, continu...

Design of Incentive Compatible Mechanisms for Stackelberg Problems
This paper takes the first steps towards designing incentive compatible mechanisms for hierarchical decision making problems involving selfish agents. We call these Stackelberg p...
