  4. 4. Kernel Methods for Regression

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för matematik (MA)

    Author : Tom Lennart Rossmann; [2023]
    Keywords : Kernel Methods; Regression; Ridge Regression;

    Abstract : Kernel methods are a well-studied approach for addressing regression problems by implicitly mapping input variables into possibly infinite-dimensional feature spaces, particularly in cases where standard linear regression fails to capture non-linear relationships in data. Therefore, the choice between standard linear regression and kernel regression can be seen as a tradeoff between constraints on the number of features and the number of training samples. READ MORE
