New theory advances streaming PCA with uncertainty quantification

Researchers have developed new theoretical frameworks for streaming Principal Component Analysis (PCA) using Oja's algorithm. The work addresses open questions regarding convergence rates for general ranks under sub-Gaussian data and provides distributional inference for subspace estimators. The new convergence theory removes previous remainder terms, achieving sharp rates that match minimax rates in the dense-tail spiked covariance regime. Additionally, a novel online multiplier bootstrap algorithm has been developed and proven consistent for practical inference, extending Gaussian approximation and bootstrap inference techniques to nonconvex stochastic approximation.
