Abstract
We investigate the role of inaccurate priors for the classical Pandora's box problem. In the classical Pandora's box problem we are given a set of boxes each with a known cost and an unknown value sampled from a known distribution. We investigate how inaccuracies in the beliefs can affect existing algorithms. Specifically, we assume that the knowledge of the underlying distribution has a small error in the Kolmogorov distance, and study how this affects the utility obtained by the optimal algorithm.
