Training and Validation
Train and simulate reinforcement learning agents
To learn an optimal policy, a reinforcement learning agent interacts with the environment through a repeated trial-and-error process. During training, the agent tunes the parameters of its policy representation to maximize the long-term reward. Reinforcement Learning Toolbox™ software provides functions for training agents and validating the training results through simulation. For more information, see Train Reinforcement Learning Agents.
