Abstract

To overcome the limitations of the model of statistical heuristic search, the author proposes the idea of combining nonparametric statistical inference methods with the heuristic search. A nonparametric statistical heuristic search algorithm (NSA) is presented, and its computational complexity is discussed. It is shown that, in a uniform m-ary search tree G with a single goal SN located at an unknown site in the N-th depth, NSA can find the goal asymptotically with probability one, and the complexity remains O(N(ln N)2), where N is the length of the solution path.
