A loss function measures the discrepancy between the true values (observations) and their estimated fits, for a given instance of data. A loss function is said to be proper (unbiased, Fisher consistent) if the fits are defined over a unit…

The Sobolev space $H^{\varsigma}(\mathbb{R}^{d})$, where $\varsigma > d/2$, is an important function space that has many applications in various areas of research. Attributed to the inertia of a measurement instrument, it is desirable in…

Given $n$ samples of a function $f\colon D\to\mathbb C$ in random points drawn with respect to a measure $\varrho_S$ we develop theoretical analysis of the $L_2(D, \varrho_T)$-approximation error. For a parituclar choice of $\varrho_S$…
