Non-Asymptotic Uniform Rates of Consistency for k-NN Regression

Machine Learning 2018-11-06 v2 Machine Learning

Abstract

We derive high-probability finite-sample uniform rates of consistency for kk-NN regression that are optimal up to logarithmic factors under mild assumptions. We moreover show that kk-NN regression adapts to an unknown lower intrinsic dimension automatically. We then apply the kk-NN regression rates to establish new results about estimating the level sets and global maxima of a function from noisy observations.
