No Free Lunch: Non-Asymptotic Analysis of Prediction-Powered Inference
ICML 2026poster
Prediction-Powered Inference (PPI) is a popular strategy for combining gold-standard and possibly noisy pseudo-labels to perform statistical estimation. Prior work has shown an asymptotic \enquote{free lunch} for PPI++, an adaptive form of PPI, showing that the \textit{asymptotic} variance of PPI++ …
