Introduction to Statistical Learning Theory

The main goal of statistical learning theory is to provide a framework for study-ing the problem of inference, that is of gaining knowledge, making predictions, making decisions or constructing models from a set of data. This is studied in a statistical framework, that is there are assumptions of statistical nature about

Chapter 5 Measures of distance between samples: non …

Measures of distance between samples: non-Euclidean Euclidean distances are special because they conform to our physical concept of distance. But there are many other distance measures which can be defined between multivariate samples. These non-Euclidean distances are of different types: some still satisfy the basic
