- Abstract
- In this paper, estimation of a regression function from independent and identically distributed random variables is considered. Estimates are defined by minimization of the empirical L2 risk over a class of functions, which are defined as maxima of minima of linear functions. Results concerning the rate of convergence of the estimates are derived. In particular, it is shown that for smooth regression functions satisfying the assumption of single index models, the estimate is able to achieve (up to some logarithmic factor) the corresponding optimal one-dimensional rate of convergence. Hence, under these assumptions, the estimate is able to circumvent the so-called curse of dimensionality. The small sample behavior of the estimates is illustrated by applying them to simulated data. © 2009 IEEE.
