Law of Large Numbers and Central Limit Theorem for Wide Two-layer Neural Networks: The Mini-Batch and Noisy Case

`Intuitively, if the restricted #estimator is near the maximum of the #likelihood function, the score should not differ from zero by more than sampling error. While the finite sample #distributions of score tests are generally unknown, they have an #asymptotic χ2-distribution under the null #hypothesis as first proved by C. R. Rao in 1948, a fact that can be used to determine statistical #significance.`

Inference on the Change Point under a High Dimensional Covariance Shift

This is the area that touches on and immensely expands the ideas of #divergent #asymptotic series, the bread and butter of my meals, the hammer and nails of my tools, and the torchlight providing glimpses of transcendental #mathematical functions I work with… from @QuantaMagazine https://www.quantamagazine.org/alien-calculus-could-save-particle-physics-from-infinities-20230406/
‘Alien Calculus’ Could Save Particle Physics From Infinities | Quanta Magazine

In the math of particle physics, every calculation should result in infinity. Physicists get around this by just ignoring certain parts of the equations — an approach that provides approximate answers. But by using the techniques known as “resurgence,” researchers hope to end the infinities and end up with perfectly precise predictions.

@DeezyPuzzles I feel such "failure" often - failed guy, failed girl, failed gay, failed straight, failed adult... Winning at stereotypes is #asymptotic - you never really get there. At any point in the journey you can choose to believe current you is exactly who you are meant to be at the moment. Feeling a bit of "failure" is not the end. Make a leap of faith - your future is open!

Reactions in 2020 were all over the spectrum, polarized the "trans community", but most strongly in the "cancel" realm.

Where this issue is debated rather vividly.

As for #asymptotic, that's just my adaptation to the situation you described. At some point we all just have to be happy with how we look. You be you!

@Impossible_PhD Guess it _is_ a bit unconventional. Happy to explain any part of it, if you'd like... Main thought is that the pursuit of a particular physical appearance is #asymptotic - you can get closer and closer, but you will never exactly reach the goal. There will always be yet another increment available... You can choose at any point to believe you are "close enough". And in my experience, that's what the people I care about respond to.
@Impossible_PhD Your struggle reminds me of Fionne Orlander and the 2020 "Fix a Brick" campaign. I guess I'm odd, but when faced with issues of physical #verisimilitude, I retreat from the #asymptotic edge and focus on my mental evaluations of my situation. People respond much more readily to how I feel about myself than how I look.
