Ensemble projection pursuit for general nonparametric regression
一般非参数回归的集成投影寻踪
Projection pursuit regression (PPR) and artificial neural networks (ANNs), both introduced around the same time, share a similar approach to approximating complex structures in data. However, PPR has received far less attention than ANNs and other popular statistical learning methods such as random forests (RF) and support vector machines (SVM). In this paper, we revisit the estimation of PPR and propose an optimal greedy algorithm and an ensemble approach via feature…
