+This condition, well-known in the sparse recovery literature, captures the idea that the binary vectors of active nodes are not \emph{too} colinear with each other, an essentially necessary condition for recovering $\theta$.

 A discussion of the $(S,\gamma)$-{\bf(RE)} assumption in the context of generalized linear cascade models can be found in Section~\ref{sec:re}. We will also need the following assumption on the inverse link function $f$ of the generalized linear cascade model:

+Theorem~\ref{thm:main} states that, under the two previous assumptions, the decay rate of the error term is ${\cal O}(1/\sqrt{n})$, which is believed to be optimal. Note how we have expressed the bound in the number of measurements $n$, which is different from the number of cascades! For example, in the case of the voter model with horizon time $T$ and for $N$ cascades, we can expect $N\times T$ measurements.
