Multi-Agent Learning in Double-side Auctions forPeer-to-peer Energy Trading
[article]
2020
arXiv
pre-print
To address this issue, we propose an automated bidding framework in a repeated auction based on multi-armed bandit learning, which aims to minimize each bidder's cumulative regret. ...
An alternative to FIT is a market based approach; i.e., consumers and DER owners trade energy in an auction-based peer-to-peer (P2P) market, and the rates are determined by a market clearing process. ...
prices to bid/ask in a repeated auction setting, we propose a regret-minimizationbased learning approach for a multi-agent system in which bidding/asking prices of agents are automatically chosen by bandit ...

Ex-post regret heuristics under private values (I): Fixed and random matching
2014
Journal of Mathematical Economics
The results are illustrated in several applications, including second-price auctions, first-price auctions and Bertrand duopolies. ...
In contexts in which players have no priors, we analyze a heuristic process based on ex-post regret as a guide to understand how to play games of incomplete information under private values. ...
However, in general games, minimal CUSOAEBR sets can be rather large. We illustrate this by exhibiting the unique minimal CU-SOAEBR sets for the first-price auction and Bertrand duopoly game. ...

Risk- & Regret-Averse Bidders in Sealed-Bid Auctions
2014
Social Science Research Network
Such experimental phenomena is called overbidding, and observed in first-price auction experiments conducted by Cox, Robertson, and Smith (1982) [9] and Cox, Simth, and Walker (1988) [10]. ...
To solve this discrepancy, we construct a structural model of bidding behavior in sealed-bid auctions, one in which bidders may regret their decisions. ...
We can define wnning and loser regret in the following manners. 58 This subsection can be skepped if a reader is not interested in a third-price auction. 59 More generally, a k-th price auction where k ...

By showing that the regret is lower bounded by Ω(√(T)) for any strategy, we conclude that DPDS is order optimal up to a √(T) term. ...

Strategic analysis with simulation-based games
2009
Proceedings of the 2009 Winter Simulation Conference (WSC)
We present an overview of an emerging methodology for applying game-theoretic analysis to strategic environments described by a simulator. ...
We first introduce the problem of solving a simulation-based game, and proceed to review convergence results and confidence bounds about game-theoretic equilibrium estimates. ...
Since their beginnings these auctions have undergone a series of changes, from a first-price to a next-price format, from rank-by-bid to rank-by-revenue. ...

Learning in Games: Robustness of Fast Convergence
[article]
2016
arXiv
pre-print
We show that learning algorithms satisfying a low approximate regret property experience fast convergence to approximate optimality in a large class of repeated games. ...
Our property, which simply requires that each learner has small regret compared to a (1+ϵ)-multiplicative approximation to the best action in hindsight, is ubiquitous among learning algorithms; it is satisfied ...
Acknowledgements We thank Vasilis Syrgkanis for sharing simulation software and the NIPS reviewers for pointing out that the GREEN algorithm [AAGO06] satisfies the Low Approximate Regret property. ...

In display advertising, a small group of sellers and bidders face each other in up to 10 12 auctions a day. ...
In this context, revenue maximisation via monopoly price learning is a high-value problem for sellers. By nature, these auctions are online and produce a very high frequency stream of data. ...
As for other algorithms, by using a doubling trick to handle an unknown horizon, ETC+V-CONV-OGA exhibits a sub-linear regret. ...

Differentially Private Call Auctions and Market Impact
[article]

We propose and analyze differentially private (DP) mechanisms for call auctions as an alternative to the complex and ad-hoc privacy efforts that are common in modern electronic markets. ...
We analyze the incentive properties of our mechanisms and their behavior under natural no-regret learning dynamics by market participants. ...
Finally, while [Chen et al., 2018] have shown how to privately compute near-optimal prices in double auctions, their process does not guarantee end-to-end joint differentially privacy when taking trade ...

On the Robustness of Second-Price Auctions in Prior-Independent Mechanism Design

Furthermore, we show that the minimax optimal mechanisms have a simple form across all settings: a second-price auction with random reserve prices, which shows its robustness in prior-independent mechanism ...
In particular, we show that the first three classes admit the same minimax regret value, which is decreasing with the number of competitors, while the last two have the same minimax regret equal to that ...
In particular, a reserve price is very valuable in prior-independent environments and the use of a randomized reserve price is also critical to minimize the worst-case regret. ...

An Efficient and Strategy-Proof Double-Track Auction for Substitutes and Complements

In each round of the auction, the auctioneer announces the current prices for all items, bidders respond by reporting their demands at these prices, and then the auctioneer adjusts simultaneously the prices ...
We prove that although bidders are not assumed to be price-takers and thus can strategically exercise their market power, this dynamic auction always induces the bidders to bid truthfully as price-takers ...
According to the rule of the double-track auction to be discussed soon in detail, the seller treats A as balanced and so she adjusts p(2) to p(3) = (2, 3) by decreasing the price of B by 1 and holding ...
