problem Estimating the expected maximum reward in Plackett-Luce draws without replacement.
method Rank-conditioned Horvitz-Thompson estimation with joint-score REINFORCE for unbiased sample reuse.
result Unbiased estimation of the Plackett-Luce best-of-K objective with finite second moment guarantees.

With a growing interest in using non-representative samples to train prediction models for numerous outcomes it is necessary to account for the sampling design that gives rise to the data in order to assess the generalized predictive utility of a proposed prediction rule. After learning a prediction rule based on a non…

Applied researchers often construct a network from a random sample of nodes in order to infer properties of the parent network. Two of the most widely used sampling schemes are subgraph sampling, where we sample each vertex independently with probability pp and observe the subgraph induced by the sampled vertices, and…
