Abstract
This note provides a characterization of optimal policies in a class of two-armed bandits that allows for correlated arms. This characterization extends previously known results in the literature. In particular, it implies, under a mild continuity assumption, the optimality of cutoff belief strategies for this class of bandits. Cutoff beliefs are not unique, though.
