The technique is a way to calculate the value of actions that have effects far into the future.
Second, the content of value judgments is about the value of actions and objects as means — that is, their value in relation to their consequences, or the consequences of valuing them in the situation at hand.
Perhaps our judgments of the value of actions are ultimately parasitic on our convictions about the what there is reason to do or to admire; in that case, we will not be able to derive conclusions about reasons from antecedent premises in the theory of value (Scanlon 1998, chap. 2).
Note that variational Bayes and backwards induction do not call on RPE, which arises in reinforcement learning schemes where the value of actions and states are learnt through repeated experience (Sutton and Barto, 1998).
The action plan does note the value of multilateral action but also says that "particular focus should be put on mobilising the private sector as a major source of financing and of innovation to tackle climate change".
Here, the Q-value of an action, Q(a), provides an estimate of the value of performing action a.
Moreover, even after one rightly discerns the value of an action per se and the value of undertaking a proposed action, experience shows that value perception does not compel either the will or the heart to provide a fitting response.
In the Actor-Critic framework, the value of an action is specified by a measure of reward received when that action is selected.
