Subjective questions

2.a Value Iteration vs Policy Iteration

  1. Compare value iteration and policy iteration for states Brown in, Brown Out, Grey out and Grey In
  2. Which one converges faster and why

2a_VI.JPG2a_PI.JPG

The plots above show J(s) for Grey In, Brown In and Brown Out states for Value Iteration and Policy Iteration.

As seen in the images above, Policy Iteration converges faster than Value Iteration. Since the number of proper policies is finite, the policy improvement step guarantees a better policy if the previous policy if it was not optimal whereas in value iteration, a change in policy is not guaranteed.

2.b How changing $\lambda$ affecting TD Lambda

Bertsekas: TD(\lambda) is a stochastic approximation method for solving a suitably reformulated Bellman equation. \lambda acts as a discount parameter to discount the effect of TD of state transitions in the far future on the cost of the current estimate. Thus, a higher value of \lambda will lead to larger variations in the value estimates as can be seen in the value vs iteration plots for the Grey In state below: 2b.JPG

2.c Policy iteration error curve

Plot error curve of $J_i$ vs iteration $i$ for policy iteration - the code is in Task 2.2
