System and method for projecting a likely path of the subject of a sequential decision problem

摘要

A system and method for projecting the likely future path of the subject of a sequential decision problem. The subject of the sequential decision problem takes an action beginning with the starting state of affairs and probabilistically transitions into other states according to the structure of the decision problem, the solution to the decision problem, possibly random events, and the decisions of the subject. The likely future path consists of a sequence of actions taken by the subject, the states the subject will likely be in after taking the projected actions, and the rewards the subject is likely to receive along the future path.
