As an incremental-gradient algorithm, the hybrid stochastic gradient descent (HSGD) enjoys merits of both stochastic and full gradient methods for finite-sum problem optimization. However, the existing rate-of-convergence analysis for HSGD is made under with-replacement sampling (WRS) and is restric...
