We study the best-arm identification (BAI) problem with a fixed budget and contextual (covariate) information. In each round of an adaptive experiment, after observing contextual information, we choose a treatment arm using past observations and current context. Our goal is to identify the best treatment arm, which is a treatment arm with the maximal expected reward marginalized over the contextual distribution, with a minimal probability of misidentification. In this study, we consider a class of nonparametric bandit models that converge to location-shift models when the gaps go to zero. First, we derive lower bounds of the misidentification probability for a certain class of strategies and bandit models (probabilistic models of potential outcomes) under a small-gap regime. A small-gap regime is a situation where gaps of the expected rewards between the best and suboptimal treatment arms go to zero, which corresponds to one of the worst cases in identifying the best treatment arm. We then develop the ``Random Sampling (RS)-Augmented Inverse Probability weighting (AIPW) strategy,'' which is asymptotically optimal in the sense that the probability of misidentification under the strategy matches the lower bound when the budget goes to infinity in the small-gap regime. The RS-AIPW strategy consists of the RS rule tracking a target sample allocation ratio and the recommendation rule using the AIPW estimator.
