Abstract: In solving linear systems of equations of the form A x = b , corruptions present in b affect stochastic iterative algorithms' ability to reach the true solution x ⁎ to the uncorrupted linear system. The randomized Kaczmarz method converges in expectation to x ⁎ up to an error horizon dependent on the conditioning of A and the supremum norm of the corruption in b. To avoid this error horizon in the sparse corruption setting, previous works have proposed quantile-based adaptations that make iterative methods robust. Our work first establishes a new convergence rate for the quantile-based random Kaczmarz (qRK) and double quantile-based random Kaczmarz (dqRK) methods, which, under certain conditions, improves upon known bounds. We further consider the more practical setting in which the vector b includes both non-sparse "noise" and sparse "corruption". Error horizon bounds for qRK and dqRK are derived and shown to produce a smaller error horizon compared to their non-quantile-based counterparts, further demonstrating the advantages of quantile-based methods.
