Instance-Optimal Identity Testing at the Original Total-Variation Radius: Resolving Canonne's 2024 Open Question 1
Latest preprint · Distribution testing · 23 October 2026
How many samples are needed to test whether an unknown distribution equals a specified reference—at the total-variation radius actually given? I give an explicit characterization, up to universal constants, for every finite or countable reference distribution at the original radius.
The preprint resolves Canonne's COLT 2024 Open Question 1 in the countable-alphabet model, with matching upper and lower bounds and a polynomial-time factor-two approximation for explicit rational input.

Preprint · Learning theory · 3 October 2026
How much can you lose by keeping just three examples? I determine the exact worst-case risk inflation for mean regression when selecting three support points, with repetition allowed, and predicting their equally weighted mean—in every dimension.
The result resolves the n = 3 column of the data-selection question posed at COLT 2025, with sharp constants and a characterization of the extremal geometry.
