Central limit theorem for infinitesimal gradient boosting
Central limit theorem for infinitesimal gradient boosting
Let be the stochastic gradient boosting process, let be its infinitesimal gradient boosting limit, let be the associated operator, and let denote the corresponding stochastic operator. Write for the Skorokhod path space and for the derivative of at . Central limit theorem. Possibly under stronger assumptions than Assumption A, is continuously differentiable as an operator , and
where convergence holds in distribution on . The limit is a zero-mean continuous Gaussian process in characterized by
where is a cylindrical Wiener process on with covariance
This is a conjectural functional central limit theorem describing the Gaussian fluctuations around the infinitesimal gradient boosting limit; the supplied text gives no resolution, so its status remains open.
