Research Type Experimental Our main empirical contribution is to provide a detailed evaluation of the statistical properties of these algorithmic leveraging estimators on both synthetic and real data sets. These empirical results indicate that our theory is a good predictor of practical performance for both existing algorithms and our two new leveraging algorithms as well as that our two new algorithms lead to improved performance.

Pseudocode No The paper describes algorithms (e.g., Subsample LS, SLEV, LEVUNW) in prose, detailing their steps, but does not provide formal pseudocode blocks or algorithms labeled as such.
Open Source Code No The paper does not include any statements or links regarding the availability of open-source code for the described methodology.
Open Datasets No The paper uses 'synthetic data' generated based on specified distributions and parameters, but it does not refer to or provide access information for any publicly available or open datasets.
Dataset Splits No The paper describes generating synthetic data for 1000 runs and the parameters of the data generation (e.g., n=1000 and p=50), but it does not specify explicit training, validation, or test dataset splits in the conventional sense of partitioning a fixed dataset.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not provide any specific hardware details (e.g., GPU/CPU models, memory) used for running its experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper does not list any specific software dependencies with version numbers.
Experiment Setup Yes We consider synthetic data of 1000 runs generated from y = Xβ+ϵ, where ϵ N(0, 9In), where several different values of n and p, leading to both very rectangular and moderately rectangular matrices X, are considered. The design matrix X is generated from one of three different classes of distributions introduced below. ... SLEV ... where α (0, 1). ... for n = 1000 and p = 50.
