Our main result is that, when $S$ is the subsampled randomized Fourier/Hadamard transform, the error $x' - x^*$ behaves as if it lies in a "random" direction within this bound: for any fixed direction $a\in \mathbb{R}^d$, we have with $1 - d^{-c}$ probability that \[ \langle a, x'-x^*\rangle \lesssim \frac{\|a\|_2\|x'-x^*\|_2}{d^{\frac{1}{2}-\gamma}}, \quad (1) \] where $c, \gamma > 0$ are arbitrary constants.

Denoting by $\sigma^2$ the variance of the unknown mixture, we prove that $\Theta(\sigma^{12})$ samples are necessary and sufficient to estimate each parameter up to constant additive error when $d=1.$ Our upper bound extends to arbitrary dimension $d>1$ up to a (provably necessary) logarithmic loss in $d$ using a novel---yet simple---dimensionality reduction technique.
