“…However, since the Shapley value is expressible as an average over averages by Equation (11), it is possible to approximate these averages via sampling techniques, and particularly so as these averages are naturally stratified by size. In previously published literature, other techniques have been used to allocate samples in this context, particularly simple sampling (Castro, Gómez and Tejada, 2009), Neyman allocation (Castro et al, 2017;O'Brien, Gamal and Rajagopal, 2015), and allocation to minimize Hoeffding's inequality (Maleki et al, 2013). We assess the benefits of using our bound by comparing its performance to the approaches above in the context of some example cooperative games, as described below.…”
