Elastic kernel Ridge regression, with applications in phonetics
弹性核岭回归及其语音学应用
Predicting the shapes of entire curves requires accounting for nonlinear geometry and unknown alignments between curves. We develop elastic kernel ridge regression, a nonparametric method for planar curve responses with scalar, multivariate, or functional covariates. Using square-root velocity representations, we formulate penalized conditional Fréchet mean estimation in a shape space invariant to translation, rotation, scaling, and reparametrization. A vector-valued…
