Weighted Fourier–Laplace transforms in reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces on the sphere

Real reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces

P (α) = C(α, F (x, y)) = αF (x, x) + 2αF (x, y) + F (x, y)F (y, y), which is ≥ 0. In the case F (x, x) = 0, the fact that P ≥ 0 implies that F (x, y) = 0. In the case F (x, y) 6= 0, P (α) is a quadratic polynomial and because P ≥ 0 it follows that the discriminant of P is ≤ 0: 4F (x, y) − 4 · F (x, x) · F (x, y)F (y, y) ≤ 0. That is, F (x, y) ≤ F (x, y)F (x, x)F (y, y), and this implies that F ...

A Primer on Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Spaces

Description: Reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces are elucidated without assuming prior familiarity with Hilbert spaces. Compared with extant pedagogic material, greater care is placed on motivating the definition of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces and explaining when and why these spaces are efficacious. The novel viewpoint is that reproducing kernel Hilbert space theory studies extrinsic geome...

Distribution Embeddings in Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Spaces

The “kernel trick” is well established as a means of constructing nonlinear algorithms from linear ones, by transferring the linear algorithms to a high dimensional feature space: specifically, a reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS). Recently, it has become clear that a potentially more far reaching use of kernels is as a linear way of dealing with higher order statistics, by embedding proba...

Quantile Regression in Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Spaces

In this paper we consider quantile regression in reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces, which we refer to as kernel quantile regression (KQR). We make three contributions: (1) we propose an efficient algorithm that computes the entire solution path of the KQR, with essentially the same computational cost as fitting one KQR model; (2) we derive a simple formula for the effective dimension of the KQR...
