Bayesian Dynamic Programming/Evidence
Method evidence record

Bayesian Dynamic Programming

Bayesian Dynamic Programming (BDP) combines Bellman's dynamic programming framework with Bayesian inference to optimize sequential decisions when transition probabilities or reward structures are unknown. At each stage, the agent updates beliefs about the environment using observed outcomes, then computes an optimal policy that explicitly accounts for both immediate rewards and the value of information gained through exploration.
