The Correlated Knowledge Gradient for Simulation Optimization of Continuous Parameters using Gaussian Process Regression

Scott, Warren, Frazier, Peter, Powell, Warren·2011·SIAM Journal on Optimization

Abstract

We extend the concept of the correlated knowledge-gradient policy for the ranking and selection of a finite set of alternatives to the case of continuous decision variables. We propose an approximate knowledge gradient for problems with continuous decision variables in the context of a Gaussian process regression model in a Bayesian setting, along with an algorithm to maximize the approximate knowledge gradient. In the problem class considered, we use the knowledge gradient for continuous parameters to sequentially choose where to sample an expensive noisy function in order to find the maximum quickly. We show that the knowledge gradient for continuous decisions is a generalization of the efficient global optimization algorithm proposed in [D. R. Jones, M. Schonlau and W. J. Welch, J. Global Optim., 13 (1998), pp. 455–492].

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
