Visualise arms for monitoring

[theobouwman]

How can i visualise the arms for each different algorithm to monitor this in production?

I'm not sure what you have in mind with visualization, two comments:

• check out simulator which simulates and plots different algorithms in an online simulation from best, worst, average case. That.. or, some of the code/logic in there might be relevant?
• at the lowest level, arm_to_expectation field has the expectation for each arm. That can be visualized in some way over time.

Hope this helps!

Im planning to use this lib in production for use cases like finding out best hour of day to deliver push notifications to a user. So I'd like to visualise over time (in e.g. wandb) the Thompson sampling beta distributions for each arm for a user. Such that I can see how and to which arm it converges.

Sounds interesting! I hope the simulator and/or building out quick viz over arm_to_expectations over time helps.
