Q Learning Algorithm

AIM

To develop a Python program to find the optimal policy for the given RL environment using Q-Learning and compare the state values with the Monte Carlo method.

PROBLEM STATEMENT

Develop a Python program to derive the optimal policy using Q-Learning and compare state values with Monte Carlo method.

Q LEARNING ALGORITHM

Step 1: Initialize Q-table and hyperparameters.

Step 2: Choose an action using the epsilon-greedy policy and execute the action, observe the next state, reward, and update Q-values and repeat until episode ends.

Step 3: After training, derive the optimal policy from the Q-table.

Step 4: Implement the Monte Carlo method to estimate state values.

Step 5: Compare Q-Learning policy and state values with Monte Carlo results for the given RL environment.
