Abstract
We prove an upper bound on the cumulative opportunity cost of the online knowledge gradient algorithm. We leverage the theory of martingales to yield a bound under the Gaussian assumption. Using results from information theory we are further able to provide asymptotic bounds on the cumulative opportunity cost with high probability.
