• Motivated by problems in controlled experiments, we study the discrepancy of random matrices with continuous entries where the number of columns $n$ is much larger than the number of rows $m$. Our first result shows that if $\omega(1) \leq m \leq o(n)$, a matrix with i.i.d. standard Gaussian entries has discrepancy $\Theta(\sqrt{n} \, 2^{-n/m})$ with high probability. This provides sharp guarantees for Gaussian discrepancy in a regime that had not been considered before in the existing… CONTINUE READING
