Abstract

In this article we establish central limit theorems for multilevel Polyak–Ruppert averaged stochastic approximation schemes. We work under very mild technical assumptions and consider the slow regime in which typical errors decay like N−δ with δ∈(0,12) and the critical regime in which errors decay of order N−1∕2logN in the runtime N of the algorithm.
