ORIE Colloquium, 2015-12-15 - Alessandro Arlotto: Finite Horizon Markov Decision Problems and a Central Limit Theorem for Total RewardAbstract: We prove a central limit theorem for a class of additive processes that arise naturally in the theory of finite horizon Markov decision problems. The main theorem generalizes a…
