A stochastic approximation method with max-norm projections and its applications to the Q-learning algorithm
In this paper, we develop a stochastic approximation method to solve a monotone estimation problem and use this method to enhance the empirical performance of the Q-learning algor...

The Stein phenomenon for monotone incomplete multivariate normal data
We establish the Stein phenomenon in the context of two-step, monotone incomplete data drawn from Np+q(µ, Σ), a multivariate normal population with mean µ and covariance matrix...

Local Monotonicity Reconstruction
We propose a general model of local property reconstruction. Suppose we have a function f on domain Γ, which is supposed to have a particular property P, but may not have the pro...

Existence of Cascade Discrete-Continuous State Estimators for Systems on a Partial Order
In this paper, a cascade discrete-continuous state estimator on a partial order is proposed and its existence investigated. The continuous state estimation error is bounded by a mo...
