Unfortunate typos in read paper

Mathieu and I have just realised that the version of our SQMC paper made available on the RSS web site contains several unfortunate typos. In particular, the symbol for “small o” has been replaced by a “big O” by editors. For instance, Theorem 9 should state the QMC beats standard SMC; i.e. the MSE (mean square error) of an SQMC estimator is

\mathrm{MSE} = o(N^{-1})

but in the RSS version, it reads

\mathrm{MSE} = O(N^{-1}).

Well, that’s a bummer. For now, I recommend anyone to read instead the arxiv version (updated on Monday).
