Variable Selection via Thompson Sampling

Published in Jounal of America Statistical Association (In Press), Winner of SBSS 2020 Student Paper Competition awarded by ASA, 2020

TVS brings together Bayesian reinforcement and machine learning in order to extend the reach of Bayesian subset selection to non-parametric models and large datasets with very many predictors and/or very many observations.
