Statystyki
Studies have shown that optimism and pessimism-under-uncertainty settings outperform each other based on the task at hand.
IQN (α = 0.5) possesses the best training performance among fixed risk level settings.
ORA consistently outperforms IQN (α = 0.5) throughout the training period.
ORA's average reward obtained is higher than all IQN's in Knapsack testing results.
