23 results for A-optimality

Iterative Hessian sketch (IHS) is an effective sketching method for modeling large-scale data. It was originally proposed by Pilanci and Wainwright (2016; JMLR) based on randomized sketching matrices. However, it is computationally intensive due to the iterative sketch process. In this paper, we analyze the IHS algorit…

result Achieves lower asymptotic variance and reduced empirical mean squared error.

We consider in this paper the problem of optimal experiment design where a decision maker can choose which points to sample to obtain an estimate β^\hatβ of the hidden parameter ββ^{\star} of an underlying linear model. The key challenge of this work lies in the heteroscedasticity assumption that we make, meaning that…

This work is motivated by numerical solutions to Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman quasi-variational inequalities (HJBQVIs) associated with combined stochastic and impulse control problems. In particular, we consider (i) direct control, (ii) penalized, and (iii) semi-Lagrangian discretization schemes applied to the HJBQVI proble…
