Whatever method we use\nto estimate $v_\\pi(S_t)$, it updates $V(S_t)$ toward some **target**. The\ndifferent members of the family are just different choices of target.\n\nMonte Carlo aims at the complete return, every reward until termination:\n\n$$\nG_t \\;\\doteq\\; R_{t+1} + \\gamma R_{t+2} + \\gamma^2 R_{t+3} + \\cdots + \\gamma^{T-t-1} R_T.\n$$\n\nOne-step TD truncates after a single reward and patches the missing tail with a\nbootstrapped estimate — the **one-step return**:\n\n$$\nG_{t:t+1} \\;\\doteq\\; R_{t+1} + \\gamma\\, V_t(S_{t+1}),\n$$\n\nwhere $V_t$ is the estimate of $v_\\pi$ at time $t$. The subscript notation\n$G_{t:t+1}$ reads \"a return for time $t$ using rewards up through time $t+1$\":\nthe discounted estimate $\\gamma\\, V_t(S_{t+1})$ takes the place of the discarded\ntail $\\gamma R_{t+2} + \\gamma^2 R_{t+3} + \\cdots + \\gamma^{T-t-1} R_T$. The same\nidea extends past one step. A **two-step return** keeps two real rewards and\nbootstraps from the value two steps out,\n\n$$\nG_{t:t+2} \\;\\doteq\\; R_{t+1} + \\gamma R_{t+2} + \\gamma^2\\, V_{t+1}(S_{t+2}),\n$$\n\nwhere $\\gamma^2 V_{t+1}(S_{t+2})$ now corrects for the absence of\n$\\gamma^2 R_{t+3} + \\cdots + \\gamma^{T-t-1} R_T$. In general, the target for an\narbitrary $n$-step update is the **$n$-step return**:\n\n$$\nG_{t:t+n} \\;\\doteq\\; R_{t+1} + \\gamma R_{t+2} + \\cdots + \\gamma^{n-1} R_{t+n} + \\gamma^{n}\\, V_{t+n-1}(S_{t+n}),\n$$\n\nfor all $n \\ge 1$ and $0 \\le t \u003C T - n$. Every $n$-step return is an\napproximation to the full return $G_t$, truncated after $n$ rewards and then\ncorrected for the remaining missing terms by $\\gamma^n V_{t+n-1}(S_{t+n})$. If\nthe horizon runs to or past termination — that is, if $t + n \\ge T$ — all the\nmissing terms are already zero, and the $n$-step return equals the ordinary full\nreturn: $G_{t:t+n} \\doteq G_t$ whenever $t + n \\ge T$.\n\n> **Definition ($n$-step return).** For $n \\ge 1$, the $n$-step return from time\n> $t$ is\n> $$\n> G_{t:t+n} \\doteq \\sum_{k=1}^{n} \\gamma^{k-1} R_{t+k} \\;+\\; \\gamma^{n}\\, V_{t+n-1}(S_{t+n}),\n> $$\n> the first $n$ real rewards, discounted, followed by the estimated value of the\n> state reached $n$ steps out. At the two extremes it is the one-step TD target\n> ($n=1$) and the Monte Carlo return ($n \\to \\infty$, i.e. $t + n \\ge T$).\n\nOne subtlety: the $n$-step return for step $t$ uses\nfuture rewards $R_{t+1}, \\ldots, R_{t+n}$ and the future state $S_{t+n}$ — none\nof which exist at time $t+1$. No real algorithm can use $G_{t:t+n}$ until it has\nseen $R_{t+n}$ and computed $V_{t+n-1}$; the first moment all of that is\navailable is time $t+n$. This lag is unavoidable when looking ahead, and it\nshapes the pseudocode below.\n\n## The n-step TD update\n\nWith the target in hand, the update follows directly. At time $t+n$ (the first\nmoment $G_{t:t+n}$ is computable) we move $V(S_t)$ a fraction $\\alpha$ of the\nway toward it:\n\n$$\nV_{t+n}(S_t) \\;\\doteq\\; V_{t+n-1}(S_t) \\;+\\; \\alpha\\,\\big[\\, G_{t:t+n} - V_{t+n-1}(S_t) \\,\\big],\n\\qquad 0 \\le t \u003C T,\n$$\n\nwhile every other state's estimate is left unchanged, $V_{t+n}(s) =\nV_{t+n-1}(s)$ for $s \\ne S_t$. This is **$n$-step TD**. The bracketed quantity\nis the familiar TD error, but with an $n$-step target in place of the one-step\none. Because the update for $S_t$ fires only at $t+n$, the first $n-1$ states of\neach episode get no update as the episode begins; to compensate, an equal number\nof updates are made at the end, after termination, before the next episode\nstarts.\n\n```algorithm\ncaption: $\\textsc{n-Step-TD}$ — estimate $V \\approx v_\\pi$\ninput: a policy $\\pi$; step size $\\alpha \\in (0,1]$; a positive integer $n$\ninitialize $V(s)$ arbitrarily for all $s$\nfor each episode do\n  initialize and store $S_0 \\ne$ terminal\n  $T \\gets \\infty$\n  for $t = 0, 1, 2, \\ldots$ do\n    if $t \u003C T$ then\n      take an action according to $\\pi(\\cdot \\mid S_t)$\n      observe and store $R_{t+1}$ and $S_{t+1}$\n      if $S_{t+1}$ is terminal then\n        $T \\gets t + 1$\n    $\\tau \\gets t - n + 1$ \u002F\u002F $\\tau$ = time whose estimate is updated now\n    if $\\tau \\ge 0$ then\n      $G \\gets \\sum_{i=\\tau+1}^{\\min(\\tau+n,\\,T)} \\gamma^{\\,i-\\tau-1} R_i$\n      if $\\tau + n \u003C T$ then\n        $G \\gets G + \\gamma^{n} V(S_{\\tau+n})$ \u002F\u002F bootstrap\n      $V(S_\\tau) \\gets V(S_\\tau) + \\alpha\\,[\\,G - V(S_\\tau)\\,]$\n  until $\\tau = T - 1$\n```\n\nThe index $\\tau = t - n + 1$ is the state currently being updated: at wall-clock\ntime $t$ we have just enough lookahead to finish the update for the state $n-1$\nsteps in the past. All storage can be kept modulo $n+1$, since only the last\n$n+1$ states and rewards ever matter at once — the method's memory is bounded by\n$n$, not by the episode length.\n\n### Why an intermediate n is sound\n\nThat $n$-step returns interpolate between two known-good methods does not by\nitself prove they converge. The guarantee comes from a worst-case bound. The\nintuition: each real reward folded into the target is observed rather than\nestimated, so it reduces the target's dependence on the error in the\nbootstrapped estimate; after $n$ steps only a $\\gamma^n$ fraction of that error\nremains. Formally, the expectation of the $n$-step return is a better\nestimate of\n$v_\\pi$ than $V_{t+n-1}$ is, in the following sense: its worst error over states\nis at most $\\gamma^n$ times the worst error of the current estimate,\n\n$$\n\\max_s \\Big| \\,\\mathbb{E}_\\pi\\!\\big[\\, G_{t:t+n} \\mid S_t = s \\,\\big] - v_\\pi(s)\\, \\Big|\n\\;\\le\\; \\gamma^n \\, \\max_s \\big| \\,V_{t+n-1}(s) - v_\\pi(s)\\, \\big|,\n$$\n\nfor all $n \\ge 1$. This is the **error-reduction property**. Because $\\gamma^n \u003C\n1$, each expected $n$-step backup contracts the worst-case error, and one can\nshow from this that $n$-step TD converges to the correct $v_\\pi$ under\nappropriate conditions. Every method in the family is sound; one-step TD and\nMonte Carlo are simply its two extreme members.\n\n> **Definition (Error-reduction property).** The worst-state error of the\n> expected $n$-step return is bounded by $\\gamma^n$ times the worst-state error\n> of the value function it bootstraps from. The larger $n$, the more real reward\n> enters the target and the smaller the residual dependence on the (possibly\n> wrong) estimate — at the cost of higher variance.\n\n### A worked n-step target\n\nFor example, take $\\gamma = 0.9$, and\nsuppose an agent following $\\pi$ produces the reward stream\n\n$$\nR_{t+1} = 2,\\quad R_{t+2} = 0,\\quad R_{t+3} = 1,\\quad R_{t+4} = 3,\\quad R_{t+5} = 0,\\; \\ldots\n$$\n\nwith current value estimates $V(S_{t+1}) = 5$, $V(S_{t+2}) = 4$, $V(S_{t+3}) = 6$,\nand $V(S_{t+4}) = 2$. The **one-step return** keeps one real reward and bootstraps\nfrom the very next state:\n\n$$\nG_{t:t+1} = R_{t+1} + \\gamma V(S_{t+1}) = 2 + 0.9\\cdot 5 = 6.5.\n$$\n\nThe **two-step return** keeps two rewards and bootstraps two states out:\n\n$$\nG_{t:t+2} = R_{t+1} + \\gamma R_{t+2} + \\gamma^2 V(S_{t+2})\n          = 2 + 0.9\\cdot 0 + 0.81\\cdot 4 = 5.24.\n$$\n\nThe **three-step return** keeps three:\n\n$$\nG_{t:t+3} = 2 + 0.9\\cdot 0 + 0.81\\cdot 1 + 0.729\\cdot 6\n          = 2 + 0 + 0.81 + 4.374 = 7.184.\n$$\n\nEach target is the same shape — accumulated discounted reward, then one bootstrap\nterm $\\gamma^n V(S_{t+n})$ standing in for everything past the horizon. The three\ntargets differ in the depth at which they rely on the estimate: $G_{t:t+1}$\ndepends almost entirely on $V(S_{t+1}) = 5$, while $G_{t:t+3}$ has replaced two\nlayers of that estimate with real rewards and now depends on $V(S_{t+3}) = 6$. If\nthe early estimates were biased, the deeper target has removed more of that bias\n— the error-reduction property in a single trajectory. The bootstrap weight\nitself shrinks with depth: $\\gamma^1 = 0.9$, $\\gamma^2 = 0.81$, $\\gamma^3 = 0.729$,\nso the further out the bootstrap, the less it can distort the target.\n\n## The backup-diagram spectrum\n\nThe family is easiest to see through its\n[backup diagrams](\u002Freinforcement-learning\u002Ffoundations\u002Fvalue-functions-and-optimality).\nEach diagram traces the states and rewards whose values are backed up into the\nroot. One-step TD backs up from a single reward and one bootstrapped state;\n$n$-step TD strings $n$ rewards down a spine before bootstrapping; Monte Carlo\nextends the spine all the way to the terminal square.

The best\ndepth is intermediate and task-dependent.\n\n## An intermediate n beats both extremes\n\nThe random walk quantifies the tradeoff. Take a chain of $19$ states with a\nterminal on each end, an outcome of $-1$ on the left and $+1$ on the right, all\nvalues initialized to $0$, and equiprobable left\u002Fright moves. Run $n$-step TD\nfor a sweep of $n$ and $\\alpha$, and measure the RMS error of the predictions\nagainst the true values, averaged over the first $10$ episodes and $100$ runs.\n\nTwo things stand out. Each curve is a U in $\\alpha$ — too small a step learns\ntoo slowly, too large a step overshoots — and the bottom of the U, the best\nachievable error, is lowest for an _intermediate_ $n$, neither $n=1$ nor the very\nlargest. A one-step method after this walk would change only the value of the\nlast state visited; a two-step method would nudge the last two; an $n$-step\nmethod credits the last $n$ states of the run, all by the same reward. Spreading\ncredit further than one step, but not all the way to the episode's start, gives\nthe lowest error.\n\n$$\n% caption: Performance of $n$-step TD on the 19-state random walk: average RMS\n% error (first 10 episodes, 100 runs) versus step size $\\alpha$, one curve per\n% $n$.

An intermediate $n$ holds both errors down at once.\n\n## n-step Sarsa: control\n\nPrediction estimates $v_\\pi$ for a fixed policy; **control** improves the policy.\nThe move from prediction to control is the one from the previous lesson: switch\nfrom states to state–action pairs and act $\\varepsilon$-greedily with respect to\nthe action values. The $n$-step version of Sarsa — the original one-step Sarsa is\nnow **Sarsa(0)** — redefines the return over action values instead of state\nvalues:\n\n$$\nG_{t:t+n} \\;\\doteq\\; R_{t+1} + \\gamma R_{t+2} + \\cdots + \\gamma^{n-1} R_{t+n} + \\gamma^{n}\\, Q_{t+n-1}(S_{t+n}, A_{t+n}),\n\\qquad n \\ge 1,\\; 0 \\le t \u003C T - n,\n$$\n\nwith $G_{t:t+n} \\doteq G_t$ when $t + n \\ge T$. The bootstrap now uses the\nestimated value of a state–_action_ pair, $Q_{t+n-1}(S_{t+n}, A_{t+n})$, rather\nthan a state. The update mirrors $n$-step TD:\n\n$$\nQ_{t+n}(S_t, A_t) \\;\\doteq\\; Q_{t+n-1}(S_t, A_t) + \\alpha\\,\\big[\\, G_{t:t+n} - Q_{t+n-1}(S_t, A_t) \\,\\big],\n\\qquad 0 \\le t \u003C T,\n$$\n\nleaving all other action values unchanged.

Consider an agent wandering a gridworld,\nreceiving zero reward until it stumbles onto a goal cell. When the episode ends,\none-step Sarsa strengthens exactly one state–action value: the last action, the\none that stepped onto the goal. Every earlier action on that successful path\nlearns nothing from this episode. An $n$-step method strengthens the last $n$\nactions of the path in one sweep, so a single lucky trajectory propagates credit\nback along its own tail.\n\n$$\n% caption: The $n$-step speedup in a gridworld. All rewards are zero except at\n% the goal G. After one successful episode, one-step Sarsa (middle) strengthens\n% only the single action that entered G; $n$-step Sarsa (right) strengthens the\n% last $n$ actions of the path, so far more is learned from the one episode.\n\\begin{tikzpicture}[>=stealth, font=\\footnotesize]\n  \\definecolor{acc}{HTML}{2348F2}\n  % ---------- panel 1: path taken ----------\n  \\begin{scope}\n    \\foreach \\x in {0,...,6} \\draw[black] (\\x*0.42,0) -- (\\x*0.42,2.52);\n    \\foreach \\y in {0,...,6} \\draw[black] (0,\\y*0.42) -- (2.52,\\y*0.42);\n    \\node[anchor=south, font=\\scriptsize] at (1.26,2.6) {path taken};\n    \\node[font=\\scriptsize] at (1.68,1.05) {G};\n    % a winding path in accent, arrows toward G\n    \\draw[acc, thick, ->] (0.42,1.9) -- (0.84,1.9);\n    \\draw[acc, thick, ->] (0.84,1.9) -- (0.84,1.47);\n    \\draw[acc, thick, ->] (0.84,1.47) -- (1.26,1.47);\n    \\draw[acc, thick, ->] (1.26,1.47) -- (1.26,1.05);\n    \\draw[acc, thick, ->] (1.26,1.05) -- (1.55,1.05);\n  \\end{scope}\n  % ---------- panel 2: one-step ----------\n  \\begin{scope}[xshift=3.6cm]\n    \\foreach \\x in {0,...,6} \\draw[black] (\\x*0.42,0) -- (\\x*0.42,2.52);\n    \\foreach \\y in {0,...,6} \\draw[black] (0,\\y*0.42) -- (2.52,\\y*0.42);\n    \\node[align=center, anchor=south, font=\\scriptsize] at (1.26,2.6)\n      {increased by\\\\one-step Sarsa};\n    \\node[font=\\scriptsize] at (1.68,1.05) {G};\n    \\draw[acc, thick, ->] (1.26,1.05) -- (1.55,1.05);\n  \\end{scope}\n  % ---------- panel 3: n-step ----------\n  \\begin{scope}[xshift=7.2cm]\n    \\foreach \\x in {0,...,6} \\draw[black] (\\x*0.42,0) -- (\\x*0.42,2.52);\n    \\foreach \\y in {0,...,6} \\draw[black] (0,\\y*0.42) -- (2.52,\\y*0.42);\n    \\node[align=center, anchor=south, font=\\scriptsize] at (1.26,2.6)\n      {increased by\\\\n-step Sarsa};\n    \\node[font=\\scriptsize] at (1.68,1.05) {G};\n    \\draw[acc, thick, ->] (0.42,1.9) -- (0.84,1.9);\n    \\draw[acc, thick, ->] (0.84,1.9) -- (0.84,1.47);\n    \\draw[acc, thick, ->] (0.84,1.47) -- (1.26,1.47);\n    \\draw[acc, thick, ->] (1.26,1.47) -- (1.26,1.05);\n    \\draw[acc, thick, ->] (1.26,1.05) -- (1.55,1.05);\n  \\end{scope}\n\\end{tikzpicture}\n$$\n\n> **Algorithm ($n$-step Sarsa).** Follow an $\\varepsilon$-greedy policy derived\n> from $Q$.
