Stochastic m-estimators: controlling accuracy-cost tradeoffs in machine learning

m-Estimation represents a broad class of estimators, including least-squares and maximum likelihood, and is a widely used tool for statistical inference. Its successful application however, often requires negotiating physical resources for desired levels of accuracy. These limiting factors, which we...
