Most linear experimental design problems assume homogeneous variance, while the presence of heteroskedastic noise is present in many realistic settings. Let a learner have access to a finite set of measurement vectors 𝒳⊂ℝ^d that can be probed to receive noisy linear responses of the form y=x^⊤θ^∗+η. Here θ^∗∈ℝ^d is an unknown parameter vector, and η is independent mean-zero σ_x^2-sub-Gaussian noise defined by a flexible heteroskedastic variance model, σ_x^2 = x^⊤Σ^∗x. Assuming that Σ^∗∈ℝ^d× d is an unknown matrix, we propose, analyze and empirically evaluate a novel design for uniformly bounding estimation error of the variance parameters, σ_x^2. We demonstrate this method on two adaptive experimental design problems under heteroskedastic noise, fixed confidence transductive best-arm identification and level-set identification and prove the first instance-dependent lower bounds in these settings.Lastly, we construct near-optimal algorithms and demonstrate the large improvements in sample complexity gained from accounting for heteroskedastic variance in these designs empirically.Most linear experimental design problems assume homogeneous variance, while the presence of heteroskedastic noise is present in many realistic settings.
