Paninski, Liam. "Efficient adaptive experimental design." Department of Statistics and Center for Theoretical Neuroscience. Columbia University. March 12, 2009.

Some of the benefits of using adaptive experimental design includes "avoiding the curse of insufficient data," improving nonparametric estimators for the function, and selecting stimuli (under a neuroscience approach) more efficiently. The rest of the article outlines one way to implement an adaptive experimental design for a neuroscience project. Though the topic is not applicable to my project, the practical implementation was helpful. The article helped me see how the theory can be applied in various fields.
