Visualize results of Policy Iteration with multiple values of gamma¶
Add code to visualize the results
## Visualize policy iteration with multiple values of gamma
Subjective questions¶
1.a How are values of $\gamma$ affecting results of policy iteration¶
As $\gamma$ increased expected reward increased. As $\gamma$ increased policy changed to the one that has more long term reward and lower $\gamma$ tires to get short term reward.AS we can see from the probability and reward matrice B has more reward and action two has more probability to take to B so our policy is 2 that tries to take to B to increase our long term reward. From the probability and reward matrice we can see action one has more expected reward so our policy is action one that maximises short term reward. Our analysis matches the policy we got.
1.b For modified policy itetaration, do you find any improvement if you choose m=10.¶
we get the same policy but the value vector for m=10 is closer to optimal value vector compared to that of m=5. As we increase the value of m it gets closer and closer to optimal value vector.
1.c Compare and contrast the behavior of Value Iteration and Gauss Seidel Value Iteraton¶
Both the algorithms reach same final value vector and policy. But Gauss Seidel value iteration reaches faster i.e it takes less number of iterations.
