Our purpose in writing this monograph is to give a comprehensive
treatment of the subject. We define bandit problems and give the
necessary foundations in Chapter 2. Many of the important results
that have appeared in the literature are presented in later
chapters; these are interspersed with new results. We give proofs
unless they are very easy or the result is not used in the sequel.
We have simplified a number of arguments so many of the proofs
given tend to be conceptual rather than calculational. All results
given have been incorporated into our style and notation. The
exposition is aimed at a variety of types of readers. Bandit
problems and the associated mathematical and technical issues are
developed from first principles. Since we have tried to be
comprehens ive the mathematical level is sometimes advanced; for
example, we use measure-theoretic notions freely in Chapter 2. But
the mathema tically uninitiated reader can easily sidestep such
discussion when it occurs in Chapter 2 and elsewhere. We have tried
to appeal to graduate students and professionals in engineering,
biometry, econ omics, management science, and operations research,
as well as those in mathematics and statistics. The monograph could
serve as a reference for professionals or as a telA in a semester
or year-long graduate level course."
