Pseudocode No The paper focuses on theoretical derivations and analysis of convergence rates, and it does not include any pseudocode or algorithm blocks.
Open Source Code No The paper does not contain any statements about making its source code available or provide links to a code repository.
Open Datasets No Section 5 describes generating i.i.d. samples from defined density functions (Cauchy and normal distribution) for simulation. It does not use or provide access to pre-existing public datasets for training.
Dataset Splits No The paper generates synthetic data for its simulations. It does not specify any training, validation, or test dataset splits in terms of percentages or counts for reproducibility. It varies the sample size 'n' and repeats the procedure to measure errors.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not provide any specific details about the hardware used to run the simulations (e.g., GPU/CPU models, memory).
Software Dependencies No The paper mentions using the 'EM algorithm [13]' for MLE calculations but does not specify any software names with version numbers for implementation (e.g., Python, PyTorch, specific libraries).
Experiment Setup Yes We consider two following cases: (i) λ = 0.5, µ = 2.5, (σ )2 = 0.25; (ii) λ = 0.5/n1/4, µ = 2.5, (σ )2 = 0.25. ... For each sample size n, we calculate the MLE (ˆλn, ˆµn, ˆσ2 n) via the EM algorithm [13] and measure the errors |bλn λ |, |bµn µ |, and |bσ2 n (σ )2|. We repeat this procedure 64 times and plot the mean (blue dot) and quartile error bars (yellow bar) of the logarithm of estimation errors against the log of n.
