Efron's bootstrap is the default tool for estimating the sampling distribution of a statistic, yet it is provably inconsistent for maxima of bounded-support distributions, means under infinite variance, extreme quantiles, and tail-index estimators. The classical remedies, the m-o…
We propose a collaborative meta-learning framework for distributed Bayesian optimization matching centralized performance without raw-data exchange. We show gradient sharing leaks client observations, with leakage worsening as the search converges and queries concentrate near the…
