Projection-Based Approximation and a Duality with Kernel Methods
投影近似及其与核方法的对偶关系
Projection pursuit regression and kernel regression are methods for estimating a smooth function of several variables from noisy data obtained at scattered sites. Methods based on local averaging can perform poorly in high dimensions (curse of dimensionality). Intuition and examples have suggested that projection based approaches can provide better fits. For what sorts of regression functions is this true? When and by how much do projection methods reduce the curse of…
