  We study the problem of distributed hypothesis testing with a network of
agents where some agents repeatedly gain access to information about the
correct hypothesis. The group objective is to globally agree on a joint
hypothesis that best describes the observed data at all the nodes. We assume
that the agents can interact with their neighbors in an unknown sequence of
time-varying directed graphs. Following the pioneering work of Jadbabaie,
Molavi, Sandroni, and Tahbaz-Salehi, we propose local learning dynamics which
combine Bayesian updates at each node with a local aggregation rule of private
agent signals. We show that these learning dynamics drive all agents to the set
of hypotheses which best explain the data collected at all nodes as long as the
sequence of interconnection graphs is uniformly strongly connected. Our main
result establishes a non-asymptotic, explicit, geometric convergence rate for
the learning dynamic.
