title = "Optimal State Change Attempts",
abstract = "In this chapter, we formalize the notion of a state change attempt. The idea is that a state change attempt, when successfully applied to a given tuple, will change the action attributes with the hope that these changes will result in a change in the state. For instance, considering the school data described in the previous chapter, SCAs represent policies Policy designed with a certain goal in mind; we provide an example in which a change in the action variables that decreases class size may lead to better proficiency scores.",
