Reinforcement comparison methods were extensively developed by Sutton (1984) and further refined by Williams (1986, 1992), Kaelbling (1993), and Dayan (1991). These authors analyzed many variations of the idea including various eligibility terms that may significantly improve performance. Perhaps the earliest use of reinforcement comparison was by Barto, Sutton, and Brouwer (1981).
