Distribution regression, where the goal is to predict a scalar response from a distribution-valued predictor, arises naturally in settings where observations are grouped and outcomes depend on group-level characteristics rather than on…

Kernel methods in machine learning use a kernel function that takes two data points as input and returns their inner product after mapping them to a Hilbert space, implicitly and without actually computing the mapping. For many kernel…
