All sectio umbers equatio umbers ad figure umbers i this supplemetary documet are preceded by the letter A to distiguish them from those from the mai paper. A. Proof of Theorem Part a.

Rearragig we see that ˆθ ˆβ y T ˆθ ˆβ + λ + ɛ ˆβ T L ˆβ λˆθ T Lˆθ. Substitutig y = ˆβ + y ˆβ o the right-had side ad agai rearragig ˆθ ˆβ y ˆβ T ˆθ ˆβ + λ + ɛ ˆβ T L ˆβ λˆθ T Lˆθ. Usig y ˆβ = λl ˆβ from the statioarity coditio for ˆθ ˆβ λˆθ T L ˆβ λ ɛ ˆβ T L ˆβ λˆθ T Lˆθ λ L / ˆθ L / ˆβ λ ɛ ˆβ T L ˆβ λˆθ T Lˆθ λ + ɛ L / ˆθ L / ˆβ λ ɛ ˆβ T L ˆβ λˆθ T Lˆθ where we have agai used the spectral similarity of L L. Now we examie two cases for last lie above. If + ɛ L/ ˆθ L / ˆβ the ˆθ ˆβ λ + ɛ ˆβ T L ˆβ λˆθ T Lˆθ. If + ɛ L / ˆθ > L / ˆβ the ˆθ ˆβ λ + ɛˆθ T Lˆθ λ ɛ ˆβT L ˆβ. Puttig these together we get the desired fial boud. Proof of b. Followig the proof strategy for part a except with the regularizatio parameter deoted by

2 λ for problem 5 we have ˆθ ˆβ λˆθ T L ˆβ + + ɛλ λ ˆβ T L ˆβ λ ˆθT Lˆθ λ L / ˆθ L / ˆβ + + ɛλ λ ˆβ T L ˆβ λ ˆθT Lˆθ λ + ɛ L / ˆθ L / ˆβ + + ɛλ λ ˆβ T L ˆβ λ ˆθT Lˆθ = λ + ɛ L / ˆθ L / λ ˆβ λ + ɛ L / ˆθ + + ɛλ λ ˆβ T L ˆβ. }{{} a We ow examie two cases for the first term a o the lie above. If λ /λ + ɛ L / ˆθ L / ˆβ the a 4λ + ɛ/λ ˆβ T L ˆβ; if λ /λ + ɛ L / ˆθ > L / ˆβ the a 0. Therefore ˆθ ˆβ 4λ + ɛ + + ɛλ λ ˆβT L ˆβ. λ A easy calculatio shows that the optimal value of λ makig the leadig factor above as small as possible is λ = λ. Pluggig this i gives the desired result. A. Proof of Theorem Let us first cosider the uivariate logistic fuctio g : R R defied by gx = ax + log + e x for a costat a R. It is clear that g is covex with first ad secod derivatives g x = a + πx g x = πx πx where πx = e x / + e x. If x R the g x δ δ where δ = π R. Thus by strog covexity of g over the iterval [ R R] we have gz gx g xz x or equivaletly by the mootoicity of the iverse lik fuctio π gz gx g xz x δ δ z x for all x z [ R R]. δ δ z x for all πx πz [δ δ]. Now write the logistic loss i 3 as fβ = i= gβ i; y i ; the the above shows that fθ fβ fβ T θ β δ δ θ β wheever πβ i πθ i [δ δ] i =.... A. Hece uder the assumptios of the theorem we may begi with the assertio that fˆθ + λ ˆθT Lˆθ f ˆβ + λ ˆβT L ˆβ by the optimality of ˆθ for its ow problem the rearrage ad use A. to arrive at δ δ ˆβ ˆθ f ˆβ T ˆθ ˆβ + λ ˆβT L ˆβ λ ˆθT Lˆθ f ˆβ T ˆθ ˆβ + λ + ɛ ˆβ T L ˆβ λ ˆθT Lˆθ. Usig f ˆβ = λl ˆβ from the statioarity coditio for ˆβ i we have δ δ ˆβ ˆθ λˆθ T L ˆβ + + ɛλ λ ˆβ T L ˆβ λ ˆθT Lˆθ. The right-had side is precisely of the same form as that aalyzed i parts a ad b of Theorem ad the results follow.

3 A.3 Estimatio Error Bouds ad Stability The followig is a estimatio error boud derived for Laplacia smoothig i regressio where the error rate is show to scale with λ/. Theorem A.. Assume that y Nβ σ I ad deote by... the eigevalues of the graph Laplacia matrix L. Let i 0 {... } ad cosider a choice of tuig parameter λ = Θ i=i 0+ i Dβ where D the graph differece operator so that L = D T D. The the graph Laplacia smoothig estimate ˆβ i with the regressio loss satisfies ˆβ β ullityl = O P + i 0 + i=i 0+ Dβ. i Proof. Let R = rowl the row space of L ad R = ulll the ull space of L. Also let P R be the projectio oto R ad P R be the projectio oto R ad abbreviate x R = P R x x R = P R x. We ca decompose ˆβ β = ˆβ ˆβ R + ˆβ ˆβ R. The first term ˆβ ˆβ R is o the order of ullityl which is the umber of coected compoets i the uderlyig graph G. This cotributes the first term i the error rate of the theorem. Now it suffices to cosider ˆβ ˆβ R. Usig the optimality of ˆβ i y ˆβ + λ ˆβ T L ˆβ y β + λβ T Lβ. After settig y = β + ɛ with ɛ N0 σ I expadig ad rearragig we arrive at the basic iequality ˆβ β R ˆβ β P R ɛ + λβ T Lβ λ ˆβ T L ˆβ. A. Abbreviatig δ = ˆβ β let us write ɛ T P R δ = ɛ T P i0 P R δ + ɛ T I P i0 P R δ where P i0 is the projectio oto the first i 0 eigevectors of L i.e. the eigevectors associated with eigevalues... i0. The first term above satisfies whereas the secod term satisfies ɛ T P i0 P R δ P i0 ɛ δ R = O P i0 δ R ɛ T I P i0 P R δ = ɛ T I P i0 D + Dδ = ɛt I P i0 D + D + T I P i0 ɛ λdδ + λ λ λ Dδ. A.3 I the last lie here we used the iequality a T b a + b. Directly from the sigular value decompositio of D it is easy to verify that D + T I P i0 ɛ = O P. i=i i 0+ 3

4 Pluggig these bouds ito the basic iequality A. we see that ˆβ β R O P i0 ˆβ β R + O P i=i i λ + λ D ˆβ D ˆβ 0 + λ Dβ λ D ˆβ 0+ O P i0 ˆβ β R + O P λ + λ Dβ. i=i i 0+ I the last lie we have agai used a + b a + b. Pluggig i the value of λ as described i the statemet of the theorem yields ˆβ β R O P i0 ˆβ β R + O P i=i i 0+ Dβ. We ca view this as a quadratic equatio of form ax bx c 0 i x = ˆβ β R. As a > 0 the larger of its two roots serves as a boud for x i.e. x b + b + 4ac/a b/a + c/a or x b /a + c/a which meas that ˆβ β R = O P i 0 + Dβ. i This completes the proof. i=i 0+ Remark. Assumig that the umber of coected compoets ullityl stays bouded as grows the optimal i 0 i the theorem would be chose to balace i 0 / with the last term i the rate. This depeds of course o the decay of eigevalues of L; for differet graphs G the eigevalues will decay at differet rates leadig to differet error bouds. But i ay case the result i the theorem reduces to ˆβ β λ = O P Dβ which whe Dβ = O is precisely as claimed i 7 i the mai paper. Our ext result shows that whe the solutio ˆβ is tued as i Theorem A. the achieved pealty is o the same order as that for β. Lemma A.. Uder the same coditios as i Theorem A. if ullityl = O ad we were to choose i 0 = Oλ Dβ the the achieved pealty term satisfies D ˆβ = O P Dβ. Hece i particular if Dβ = O the D ˆβ = O P. Proof. Returig to the proof of Theorem A. cosider replacig the step i A.3 by ɛ T I P i0 P R δ = ɛ T I P i0 D + Dδ = ɛt I P i0 D + D + T I P i0 ɛ 0.5λDδ + λ 0.5λ λ 4 Dδ. Carryig o as i the proof of Theorem A. we arrive at ˆβ β R O P i0 ˆβ β R + O P i=i i 0+ λ + 3λ Dβ λ D ˆβ. Usig ˆβ β R 0 ad rearragig we have D ˆβ i 0 O P λ ˆβ β R + 3 Dβ = O P Dβ where we have used the choice of i 0 ad the correspodig rate of ˆβ β R from Theorem A.. Lastly we show that uder the coditios of the last lemma both ˆβ ad ˆθ the latter beig the solutio of the sparsified problem 5 achieve the same error rate. 4

5 Corollary A.. Uder the same coditios as i Lemma A. assumig that L is a + ɛ approximatio of L the solutio ˆθ of the sparsified problem 5 with the regressio loss ad tuig parameter λ = Θ i=i 0+ i Dβ satisfies just as ˆβ does. ˆθ β λ = O P Dβ Proof. There are two ways to prove this result. The first strategy is simply to ote that ˆθ β ˆθ ˆβ + ˆβ β ad both terms are O P λ Dβ / the first term cotrolled by part b of Theorem i the mai paper i combiatio with Lemma A. ad the secod term hadled by Theorem A.. The secod strategy is to replicate the proof of Theorem A. applied to the problem 5 with L i place of L ad the coclude that the resultig error rate is ot chaged sice all eigevalues of L are withi a multiplicative factor betwee / + ɛ ad + ɛ of those of L. A.4 Proof of Lemma We use Hoeffdig s iequality as a mai tool for provig the results for both the uiform ad kn samplers first treatig the uiform samplig case. For i =... q let e i = u i v i be the ith edge sampled ad deote by X i the term added to x T Lx due to samplig ei. The X i = W q x u x v with probability w e /W for each e = u v E recallig W = e E w e. Note that q i= X i = x T Lx. The variables X X... X q are idepedet ad lie i a iterval of legth W r/q where r = max uv E x u x v mi uv E x u x v. Usig Hoeffdig s iequality P q i= X i EX i > t exp t q i= W r /q = exp t q W r. A.4 As L is a ubiased estimator of L we have q i= EX i = Ex T Lx = x T Lx. Abbreviatig µ = x T Lx ad substitutig t = δµ ito the Hoeffdig boud A.4 we ifer that x T Lx µ δµ A.5 with probability at least exp δ µ q/w r. Now we use the smoothess assumptio 8 o x i.e. Dx µsw mi /W as well as r max x u x v uv E max uv E w uv w mi x u x v = Dx w mi recallig w mi = mi e E w e. Therefore r µs/w ad the result i A.5 holds with probability at least exp δ q/s. To make this probability at least / we eed to choose q s /δ log samples. Lastly to give the result as writte i the lemma we simply substitute δ = ɛ/ + ɛ ad observe that A.5 the implies + ɛ µ xt Lx + ɛ µ + ɛµ. + ɛ 5

6 The argumets for kn samplig are similar. We sample oly from odes with degree greater tha k; call this set U. Whe samplig edges icidet to ode u U for i =... k let e ui deote the ith edge sampled ad let X ui be its cotributio to x T Lx. The X ui = W u k x u x v with probability w e /W u for each v Nu recallig W u = v Nu w uv ad Nu deotes the eighbors of u. The variables X ui u U i =... k are idepedet ad lie i a iterval of legth at most W max r/k where W max = max u V W u ad r is as above i the proof for the uiform samplig part. Usig Hoeffdig s iequality oce agai P k X ui EX ui > t exp u U k i= t Wmax r/k = exp 8t k r u U i= u U W max A.6 Deotig z u = v Nu w uvx u x v for all u V ote that EX ui = z u /k for all u U. Thus ad k u U i= u U i= X ui = x T Lx k EX ui = x T Lx u V \U u V \U This meas that the Hoeffdig boud A.6 settig t = δµ implies the statemet i A.5 with probability exp 8δ µ k/r u U W max exp 8δ µ k/r W max. Boudig r sµ/w from the smoothess coditio 8 as argued i the proof for the uiform samplig case this is further lower bouded by exp 8δ W k/s W max. To make this probability at least / we eed to choose k sw max /W /4δ log. The rest follows as i the uiform samplig case i.e. to get the result as stated i the lemma we take δ = ɛ/ + ɛ. A.5 Proof of Lemma The proof is simple. Deote by L the Laplacia matrix of G H ad L the Laplacia matrix of G H. Also deote the edge weights of G H by w uu w vv ad the edge weights of G H by w uu w vv. Observe x T Lx = w vv x uv x uv + w uu x uv x u v u V G {vv } E H v V H {uu } E G x T Lx = w vv x uv x uv + w uu x uv x u v. z u z u.. u V G {vv } E H v V H {uu } E G Applyig the appropriate spectral sparsificatio bouds to the ier sums gives the result. A.6 Proof of Theorem 3 Let us deote F β = i Ω lx T i β; y i + µ β v. Note that by costructio F is strogly covex with parameter µ > 0 which implies that F θ F β g T θ β + µ θ β A.7 for ay subgradiet g of F at β. Therefore by the optimality of ˆθ for problem 0 F ˆθ + λ ˆθT Lˆθ F ˆβ + λ ˆβT L ˆβ 6

7 MSE Time secods ad after rearragig ad applyig A.7 we have µ ˆβ ˆθ g T ˆθ ˆβ + λ ˆβT L ˆβ λ ˆθT Lˆθ g T ˆθ ˆβ + λ + ɛ ˆβ T L ˆβ λ ˆθT Lˆθ for ay subgradiet g of F at β. As there exists a subgradiet such that g = λl ˆβ from the statioarity coditio for ˆβ i 9 we have µ ˆβ ˆθ λˆθ T L ˆβ + + ɛλ λ ˆβ T L ˆβ λ ˆθT Lˆθ ad the remaider of the aalysis proceeds exactly as i parts a ad b of Theorem.
