Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Theoretical Our main contribution is a near-characterization of the sample complexity of the histogram testing problem. Specifically, we provide (1) a sample near-optimal and computationally efficient testing algorithm for the problem, and (2) a nearly-matching sample complexity lower bound (within logarithmic factors).3.

Open Datasets No The paper is theoretical and focuses on sample complexity bounds and algorithm design; it does not use or refer to any specific publicly available dataset for empirical evaluation.
Dataset Splits No The paper is theoretical and does not include empirical experiments, thus no training, validation, or test dataset splits are provided. The authors also marked 'N/A' for questions related to experimental details.
Hardware Specification No The paper is theoretical and does not describe any empirical experiments, therefore no hardware specifications are provided. The authors marked 'N/A' for questions about experimental details.
Software Dependencies No The paper is theoretical and does not describe any empirical experiments, therefore no software dependencies with version numbers are provided.
Experiment Setup No The paper is theoretical and does not include an empirical experimental setup, therefore no hyperparameters or system-level training settings are provided.
