We consider conditions on a given system $\mathcal{F}$ of vectors in Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, forming a frame, which turn $\mathcal{H}$ into a reproducing kernel Hilbert space. It is assumed that the vectors in $\mathcal{F}$ are…

The theory of Koopman operators allows to deploy non-parametric machine learning algorithms to predict and analyze complex dynamical systems. Estimators such as principal component regression (PCR) or reduced rank regression (RRR) in kernel…

The use of kernels for nonlinear prediction is widespread in machine learning. They have been popularized in support vector machines and used in kernel ridge regression, amongst others. Kernel methods share three aspects. First, instead of…
