Approximate dynamic programming with combined policy functions for solving multi-stage nurse rostering problem

An approximate dynamic programming that incorporates a combined policy, value function approximation and lookahead policy, is proposed. The algorithm is validated by applying it to solve a set of instances of the nurse rostering problem tackled as a multi-stage problem. In each stage of the problem,...
