higrad - Statistical Inference for Online Learning and Stochastic Approximation via HiGrad

Implements the Hierarchical Incremental GRAdient Descent (HiGrad) algorithm, a first-order algorithm for finding the minimizer of a function in online learning just like stochastic gradient descent (SGD). In addition, this method attaches a confidence interval to assess the uncertainty of its predictions. See Su and Zhu (2018) <arXiv:1802.04876> for details.
