Question

Temporal Difference Learning - Is temporal difference biased?

Answer

Although TD methods have low variance due to using the immediate reward plus the estimate of the next state, which smooths out the fluctuation that arises from the randomness in rewards and..., they do have biases due to their use of bootstrapping, and these biases can vary depending on the actual implementation.
