Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental Our main results are on the exponential rates of convergence of classification errors at equilibrium, which are analogous to the well-known Chernoff-Stein lemma and Chernoff information that describe the error exponents in the classical binary hypothesis testing problem, but with parameters derived from the adversarial model. The results are validated through numerical experiments.

Experiment Setup Yes We fix X = {0, 1} (i.e. d = 2) and each probability distribution on X is represented by the probability that it assigns to the symbol 1, and hence M1(X) is viewed as the unit interval. We fix p = 0.5. For numerical computations, we discretize the set Q into 100 equally spaced points, and we only consider deterministic threshold-based decision rules for the defender. ... For the function c(q) = |q q | with q = 0.8, Figure 1(a) shows the error exponent... from n = 10 to n = 300 in steps of 10. ... In this experiment, we consider the case where Q = [0.6, 0.9] and q = 0.9. ... for the cost function c(q) = 3|q q |. From this plot, we see that, the error exponents converge to somewhere around 0.032, whereas Λ 0(0) 0.111.
