Research Type Experimental In this section, we consider numerical experiments on a toy model to verify our theory. For some f , we generate data from the model y = f (x) + ε where ε N(0, 0.05) and perform KRR with λ = cn θ for different θ s with some fixed constant c. Then, we numerically compute the variance, bias and excess risk by Simpson s formula with N n nodes. Repeating the experiment for n ranged in 1000 to 5000, we can estimate the convergence rate r by a logarithmic least-squares log err = r log n + b on the values (variance, bias and excess risk). The results are collected in Table 1 on page 10.

Pseudocode No The paper does not contain any clearly labeled pseudocode or algorithm blocks.
Open Source Code No The paper does not contain any statements about releasing open-source code or provide links to a code repository for the described methodology.
Open Datasets No The paper uses synthetic data generated from a toy model ("Let us consider the kernel k(x, y) = min(x, y) and x U[0, 1]... For some f , we generate data from the model y = f (x) + ε"), rather than a publicly available dataset.
Dataset Splits No The paper does not explicitly provide training/validation/test dataset splits. It generates synthetic data to numerically verify theoretical results, stating: "Repeating the experiment for n ranged in 1000 to 5000."
Hardware Specification No The paper does not provide any specific details about the hardware used to run the experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper does not list specific software components with their version numbers that would be needed to reproduce the experiment.
Experiment Setup Yes For some f , we generate data from the model y = f (x) + ε where ε N(0, 0.05) and perform KRR with λ = cn θ for different θ s with some fixed constant c. ... Note that for each setting, we tried different c s in the regularization parameter λ = cn θ and show the curves under the best choice of c (c = 0.005).
