| | The algorithm for probabilistically embedding metric spaces into trees has numerous theoretical applications. It is a key tool in the design of many approximation algorithms and online algorithms. Today we will illustrate the usefulness of these trees in designing an algorithm for the online Steiner tree problem. 1. Online Steiner Tree Let $latex {G=(V,E)}&fg=000000$ be...

| | [AI summary] This text discusses the scaling laws of optimization in machine learning, focusing on asymptotic expansions for both strongly convex and non-strongly convex cases. It covers the derivation of performance bounds using techniques like Laplace's method and the behavior of random minimizers. The text also explains the 'weird' behavior observed in certain plots, where non-strongly convex bounds become tight under specific conditions. The analysis connects theoretical results to practical considerations in optimization algorithms.

| In this article I provide much more extensive simulations showing the near perfect agreement between the odds ratio (OR) from a proportional odds (PO) model, and the Wilcoxon two-sample test statistic. The agreement is studied by degree of violation of the PO assumption and by the sample size. A refinement in the conversion formula between the OR and the Wilcoxon statistic scaled to 0-1 (corcordance probability) is provided.
