Abstract

Kelley (1974) claims to give necessary and sufficient conditions for the myopic strategy to be optimal for the two-armed Bernoulli bandit problem with a two-point prior. In this paper we argue that his conditions are not necessary. We further explore the myopicity of the optimal strategy for this particular bandit problem.
