In nonparametric regression analysis, errors are possibly correlated in practice, and neglecting error correlation can undermine most bandwidth selection methods. When no prior knowledge or parametric form of the correlation structure is…

Conditionally positive definite (CPD) kernels are defined with respect to a function class $\mathcal{F}$. It is well known that such a kernel $K$ is associated with its native space (defined analogously to an RKHS), which in turn gives rise…
