      Kernel methods are a class of statistical machine learning models based on positive semidefinite kernels, which serve as a measure of similarity between data features. Examples of kernel methods include kernel ridge ...
    • Neural networks as an optimization tool for regression 

      Coscrato, Victor Azevedo (Universidade Federal de São Carlos, UFSCar, Programa Interinstitucional de Pós-Graduação em Estatística - PIPGEs, Câmpus São Carlos, 02/09/2019)
      Neural networks are a tool to solve prediction problems that have gained much prominence recently. In general, neural networks are used as a predictive method, that is, their are used to estimate a regression function. ...
