Given an imperfect predictor, we exploit additional features at test time to improve the predictions made, without retraining and without knowledge of the prediction function. This scenario arises if training labels or data are proprietary,…
Trimming is a core technique in geometric modeling. Unfortunately, the resulting objects do not take the requirements of numerical simulations into account and yield various problems. This paper outlines principal issues of trimmed models…
Due to the curse of dimensionality, estimation in a multidimensional nonparametric regression model is in general not feasible. Hence, additional restrictions are introduced, and the additive model takes a prominent place. The restrictions…
