Managing these operations in the best possible way can significantly reduce costs. Temporal difference (TD) learning algorithms are based on reducing the differences between estimates made by the agent at different times. It is a combination of the ideas of the Monte Carlo (MC) method and Dynamic Programming (DP). It can learn directly from raw data, without a model of the dynamics of the environment (such as MC). Update estimates are based in part on other learned ...
