about
sketch_epsilon_greedy.nx -- Epsilon-Greedy bandit (Sutton-Barto, classic).
Simpler alternative to UCB1. At each pull:
with probability epsilon: pull a UNIFORM-RANDOM arm
with probability 1-epsilon: pull arm with highest empirical mean
Three modes via the epsilon_mode field:
NX_EG_MODE_FIXED -- epsilon constant (param: epsilon_ppm)
NX_EG_MODE_DECAY_LINEAR -- epsilon(t) = epsilon_0 / (t+1)
NX_EG_MODE_DECAY_LOG -- epsilon(t) = epsilon_0 / log(t+e)
COMPLEMENTS UCB1:
- UCB1: deterministic confidence-bound; near-optimal regret;
requires sqrt + log per arm per pull
- epsilon-Greedy: stochastic; simpler; tunable explore rate;
preferred when log/sqrt are expensive (embedded) or when
bounded exploration budget needed
Together they cover the "classic bandit" textbook coverage.
LCG-based deterministic RNG so two runs with same seed produce
byte-identical action sequences.
LOSSLESS-LANGUAGE DISCIPLINE: nx_eg_query reports the running
mean of an arm with stderr ~ 1/sqrt(count_i).
