For a probability measure on a real separable Hilbert space, we are interested in "volume-based" approximations of the d-dimensional least squares error of it, i.e., least squares error with respect to a best fit d-dimensional affine…
In this note, we assess the accuracy of CLT-based approximations for the volume of intersection of the $d$-dimensional cube $[-1,1]^d$ and an $L_q$-ball centred at the origin; this is clearly equivalent to approximating the distribution of…
