Researchers have developed new statistical methods, specifically Gaussian approximation and multiplier bootstrap, to analyze federated linear stochastic approximation. These techniques provide the first federated Gaussian approximations for LSA that account for communication-computation trade-offs and data heterogeneity. The findings quantify how factors like local step size and the number of local updates impact convergence rates, and introduce an online multiplier bootstrap for inference without needing to estimate the asymptotic covariance matrix.
