This is an incremental method for mobile health applications.

The paper tackled the problem of learning optimal policies from multi-individual data in mobile health by developing an off-policy actor-critic algorithm, but no concrete results or numbers were provided.

We develop an off-policy actor-critic algorithm for learning an optimal policy from a training set composed of data from multiple individuals. This algorithm is developed with a view towards its use in mobile health.
