Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental 6 Simulations We now provide some simulation results to back up our theory. We plot the log of errors over iteration t in Figure 1. In Figure 2, we plot bβ β 2 over normalized sample complexity... Each point is an average of 20 independent trials.

Pseudocode Yes Algorithm 1 Regularized EM Algorithm
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide concrete access to source code for the methodology described in this paper.
Open Datasets No The paper describes generating synthetic data for simulations (e.g., 'X N(0, Ip), W N(0, σ2)') but does not provide concrete access information (link, DOI, repository, or formal citation) for a publicly available or open dataset.
Dataset Splits No The paper discusses splitting the dataset into T pieces for theoretical analysis (Algorithm 2) but does not provide specific dataset split information (exact percentages, sample counts, citations to predefined splits) for training, validation, or testing.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not provide specific hardware details (exact GPU/CPU models, processor types with speeds, memory amounts, or detailed computer specifications) used for running its experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper does not provide specific ancillary software details (e.g., library or solver names with version numbers) needed to replicate the experiment.
Experiment Setup Yes We use Algorithm 1 with T = 7, κ = 0.7, λ(0) n in Theorem 1. The choice of the critical parameter is given in the Supplementary Material. Settings: (a,b,d) (n, p, s) = (500, 800, 5); (d) (n, p, θ) = (600, 30, 3); (a-c) SNR = 5; (d) (SNR, ϵ) = (0.5, 0.2); (a-d) ω = 0.5.
