    Online Covariance Estimation in Nonsmooth Stochastic Approximation arXiv:2502.05305v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We consider applying stochastic approximation (SA) methods to solve nonsmooth variational inclusion problems. Existing studies have shown that the averaged iterates of SA methods exhibit asymptotic normality, with an optimal limiting covariance matrix in the local minimax sense of H’ajek and Le Cam.…
