Impartial Selection with Additive Guarantees via Iterated Deletion

Kavli Affiliate: Felix Fischer | First 5 Authors: Javier Cembrano, Felix Fischer, David Hannon, Max Klimm, | Summary: Impartial selection is the selection of an individual from a group based on nominations by other members of the group, in such a way that individuals cannot influence their own chance of selection. We give a deterministic […]

Sampling with replacement vs Poisson sampling: a comparative study in optimal subsampling

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Jing Wang, Jiahui Zou, HaiYing Wang, , | Summary: Faced with massive data, subsampling is a commonly used technique to improve computational efficiency, and using nonuniform subsampling probabilities is an effective approach to improve estimation efficiency. For computational efficiency, subsampling is often implemented with replacement or through […]
