Simple and Optimal Sublinear Algorithms for Mean Estimation

We study the sublinear multivariate mean estimation problem in $d$-dimensional Euclidean space. Specifically, we aim to find the mean $\mu$ of a ground point set $A$, which minimizes the sum of squared Euclidean distances of the points in $A$ to $\mu$. We first show that a multiplicative $(1+\vareps…
