I get the fundamental idea of how tilings work, but, in Barton and Sutton's book, Reinforcement Learning: An Introduction (2nd edition), a diagram, on page 219 (figure 9.11), showing the variations of uniform offset tiling has confused me. I don't…

Does coarse coding with radial basis function generate fewer features?

I am learning about discretization of the state space when applying reinforcement learning to continuous state space. In this video the instructor, at 2:02, the instructor says that one benefit of this approach (radial basis functions over tile…
