Least-squares approximation is one of the most important methods for recovering an unknown function from data. While in many applications the data is fixed, in many others there is substantial freedom to choose where to sample. In this…

In real data analysis with structural equation modeling, data are unlikely to be exactly normally distributed. If we ignore the non-normality reality, the parameter estimates, standard error estimates, and model fit statistics from normal…

We consider the problem of reconstructing an unknown bounded function $u$ defined on a domain $X\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ from noiseless or noisy samples of $u$ at $n$ points $(x^i)_{i=1,\dots,n}$. We measure the reconstruction error in a norm…
