A nonlinear aggregation type classifier

We introduce a nonlinear aggregation type classifier for functional data defined on a separable and complete metric space. The new rule is built up from a collection of M arbitrary training classifiers. If the classifiers are consistent, then so is the aggregation rule. Moreover, asymptotically the aggregation rule behaves as well as the best of the M classifiers. The results of a small simulation are reported both, for high dimensional and functional data, and a real data example is analyzed.Fil: Cholaquidis, Alejandro. Universidad de la República.
