"""Epsilon-Greedy exploration module.
This module randomly updates the action(s) in a tensordict given an epsilon greedy exploration strategy.
At each call, random draws (one per action) are executed given a certain probability threshold. If successful,
the corresponding actions are being replaced by random samples drawn from the action spec provided.
Others are left unchanged.
Args:
spec (TensorSpec): the spec used for sampling actions.
eps_init (scalar, optional): initial epsilon value.
default: 1.0
eps_end (scalar, optional): final epsilon value.
default: 0.1
annealing_num_steps (int, optional): number of steps it will take for epsilon to reach
the ``eps_end`` value. Defaults to `1000`.
Keyword Args:
action_key (NestedKey, optional): the key where the action can be found in the input tensordict.
Default is ``"action"``.
action_mask_key (NestedKey, optional): the key where the action mask can be found in the input tensordict.
Default is ``None`` (corresponding to no mask).
.. note::
It is crucial to incorporate a call to :meth:`~.step` in the training loop
to update the exploration factor.
Since it is not easy to capture this omission no warning or exception
will be raised if this is ommitted!

r"""Ornstein-Uhlenbeck exploration policy wrapper.
Presented in "CONTINUOUS CONTROL WITH DEEP REINFORCEMENT LEARNING", https://arxiv.org/pdf/1509.02971.pdf.
The OU exploration is to be used with continuous control policies and introduces a auto-correlated exploration
noise. This enables a sort of 'structured' exploration.
Noise equation:
.. math::
noise_t = noise_{t-1} + \theta * (mu - noise_{t-1}) * dt + \sigma_t * \sqrt{dt} * W
Sigma equation:
.. math::
\sigma_t = max(\sigma^{min, (-(\sigma_{t-1} - \sigma^{min}) / (n^{\text{steps annealing}}) * n^{\text{steps}} + \sigma))
To keep track of the steps and noise from sample to sample, an :obj:`"ou_prev_noise{id}"` and :obj:`"ou_steps{id}"` keys
will be written in the input/output tensordict. It is expected that the tensordict will be zeroed at reset,
indicating that a new trajectory is being collected. If not, and is the same tensordict is used for consecutive
trajectories, the step count will keep on increasing across rollouts. Note that the collector classes take care of
zeroing the tensordict at reset time.
.. note::
Once an environment has been wrapped in :class:`OrnsteinUhlenbeckProcessWrapper`, it is
crucial to incorporate a call to :meth:`~.step` in the training loop

r"""Ornstein-Uhlenbeck exploration policy module.
Presented in "CONTINUOUS CONTROL WITH DEEP REINFORCEMENT LEARNING", https://arxiv.org/pdf/1509.02971.pdf.
The OU exploration is to be used with continuous control policies and introduces a auto-correlated exploration
noise. This enables a sort of 'structured' exploration.
Noise equation:
.. math::
noise_t = noise_{t-1} + \theta * (mu - noise_{t-1}) * dt + \sigma_t * \sqrt{dt} * W
Sigma equation:
.. math::
\sigma_t = max(\sigma^{min, (-(\sigma_{t-1} - \sigma^{min}) / (n^{\text{steps annealing}}) * n^{\text{steps}} + \sigma))
To keep track of the steps and noise from sample to sample, an :obj:`"ou_prev_noise{id}"` and :obj:`"ou_steps{id}"` keys
will be written in the input/output tensordict. It is expected that the tensordict will be zeroed at reset,
indicating that a new trajectory is being collected. If not, and is the same tensordict is used for consecutive
trajectories, the step count will keep on increasing across rollouts. Note that the collector classes take care of
zeroing the tensordict at reset time.
.. note::
It is
crucial to incorporate a call to :meth:`~.step` in the training loop
to update the exploration factor.
Since it is not easy to capture this omission no warning or exception
will be raised if this is ommitted!
Args:
spec (TensorSpec): the spec used for sampling actions. The sampled
action will be projected onto the valid action space once explored.
eps_init (scalar): initial epsilon value, determining the amount of noise to be added.
default: 1.0
eps_end (scalar): final epsilon value, determining the amount of noise to be added.
default: 0.1
annealing_num_steps (int): number of steps it will take for epsilon to reach the eps_end value.
default: 1000
theta (scalar): theta factor in the noise equation
default: 0.15
mu (scalar): OU average (mu in the noise equation).
default: 0.0
sigma (scalar): sigma value in the sigma equation.
default: 0.2
dt (scalar): dt in the noise equation.
default: 0.01
x0 (Tensor, ndarray, optional): initial value of the process.
default: 0.0
sigma_min (number, optional): sigma_min in the sigma equation.
default: None
n_steps_annealing (int): number of steps for the sigma annealing.
default: 1000
Keyword Args:
action_key (NestedKey, optional): key of the action to be modified.
default: "action"
is_init_key (NestedKey, optional): key where to find the is_init flag used to reset the noise steps.
default: "is_init"
