We consider the task of robust non-linear regression in the presence of both inlier noise and outliers. Assuming that the unknown non-linear function belongs to a Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space (RKHS), our goal is to estimate the set of…

Reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces (RKHSs) are special Hilbert spaces where all the evaluation functionals are linear and bounded. They are in one-to-one correspondence with positive definite maps called kernels. Stable RKHSs enjoy the…
