We study $L_p$ polynomial regression. Given query access to a function $f:[-1,1] \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$, the goal is to find a degree $d$ polynomial $\hat{q}$ such that, for a given parameter $\varepsilon > 0$, $$ \|\hat{q}-f\|_p\le…

Given a full rank matrix $X$ with more columns than rows, consider the task of estimating the pseudo inverse $X^+$ based on the pseudo inverse of a sampled subset of columns (of size at least the number of rows). We show that this is…

Sparse linear regression (SLR) is a well-studied problem in statistics where one is given a design matrix $X\in\mathbb{R}^{m\times n}$ and a response vector $y=X\theta^*+w$ for a $k$-sparse vector $\theta^*$ (that is, $\|\theta^*\|_0\leq…

The area of sublinear algorithms have recently received a lot of attention. In this setting, one has to choose specific access model for the input, as the algorithm does not have time to pre-process or even to see the whole input. A…
