Title:
Random Regression Graphs
 
Abstract:
 
We consider the regression problem and describe an algorithm approximating
the regression function by estimators piecewise constant on the elements of
an adaptive partition.  The partitions are iteratively constructed by
suitable random merges and splits, using cuts of arbitrary geometry.  We
give a risk bound under the assumption that a certain "weak learning
hypothesis" holds, and characterize this hypothesis in terms of a suitable
RKHS.
