We show a regret minimization algorithm for setting the reserve price in second-price auctions. We make the assumption that all bidders draw their bids from the same unknown and arbitrary distribution. Our algorithm is computationally efficient, and achieves a regret of Õ(√T), even when the number of bidders is stochastic with a known distribution.

Abstract
We show a regret minimization algorithm for setting the reserve price in second-price auctions. We make the assumption that all bidders draw their bids from the same unknown and arbitrary distribution. Our algorithm is computationally efficient, and achieves a regret of Õ(√T), even when the number of bidders is stochastic with a known distribution.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
