A new paper on arXiv details the exact minimax limits for linear representation repair, a method used to remove mean shifts between data sources. The research establishes a statistical decision problem framework, deriving a formula for the remaining shift based on data dimensions, distortion budgets, and calibration signal-to-noise ratios. This work highlights a gap between detecting and removing shifts, suggesting that standard methods like MP, SAL, and LEACE leave a significant portion of the shift uncorrected. The findings have implications for understanding the effectiveness of these methods and determining when more data or participants are needed for accurate corrections, as demonstrated on sleep EEG data.
