Designing experiments for generalized linear models is difficult because optimal designs depend on unknown parameters. The local optimality approach is to study the regions in parameter space where a given design is optimal. In many…
Optimal recovery is a mathematical framework for learning functions from observational data by adopting a worst-case perspective tied to model assumptions on the functions to be learned. Working in a finite-dimensional Hilbert space, we…
