This technical note presents a method to eliminate the \ln\ln T term from the Squint algorithm's data-independent bound. The approach involves modifying the prior in the Krichevsky-Trofimov algorithm, building upon prior work that introduced shifted KT potentials to achieve a similar outcome for parameter-free learning with expert bounds. The paper demonstrates the equivalence of this modification to changing the prior. AI
