Pocket Algorithm and Proof of convergence

[udaykamath]

Prof Yaser

Can you suggest paper(s) which refer to pocket algorithm has better convergence or more optimality ?

Having validation set independent and verified at each iteration and keeping the best iteration seems to have some property of convergence as increasing weights below/above changes the dynamics. But i wanted to know if someone has already done some rigorous analysis on that.

Thanks a ton!
