Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental In this simulation we actually construct a method to relocate an estimator by modifying the smallest number of points possible... To show a simulation of this process, we use a uniform distribution to randomly generate nk points... Table 1 shows the result of running this experiment for different n and k...

Pseudocode Yes The algorithm framework is then as follows, using the above gradient descent formulation at each step. We first compute the L1-median mi for each Pi, and then change n points in {m1, m2, , mn} to obtain {m 1, m 2, , m n, m n+1, , mn} such that median(m 1, m 2, , m n, m n+1, , mn) = p0. For each m i, we change k points in Pi to obtain e Pi = {p i,1, p i,2, , p i, k, pi, k+1, , pi,k} such that median( e Pi) = m i.
Open Source Code No The paper does not provide an unambiguous statement or a direct link to a code repository for the work described.
Open Datasets No The simulation uses data generated from a uniform distribution ('we use a uniform distribution to randomly generate nk points') rather than a specific publicly available or open dataset with concrete access information.
Dataset Splits No The paper describes a simulation with generated data but does not specify any training, validation, or test dataset splits.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not provide any specific details about the hardware (e.g., GPU/CPU models, memory) used for running the simulations or experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper does not provide specific software dependencies (e.g., library or solver names with version numbers) used to replicate the experiments.
Experiment Setup Yes To show a simulation of this process, we use a uniform distribution to randomly generate nk points in the region [ 10, 10] [ 10, 10], and generate a target point p0 = (x0, y0) in the region [ 20, 20] [ 20, 20]... and then update x and y along the negative gradient direction of h, until the Euclidean norm of gradient is less than 0.00001.
