 However, it has been shown that classical statistical approaches , like those based on the ordinary least squares estimator, fail to provide reliable confidence intervals when used with data collected with bandit algorithms. Alternative methods have recently been developed for simple models (e.g., comparison of means). Yet there is a lack of general methods for conducting statistical inference using more complex models .
