On the complexity of binary samples

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: Consider a class mH of binary functions h:Xo1,+1 on a finite interval X=[0,B]subsetReal. Define the {em sample width} of h on a finite subset (a sample) SsubsetX as wS(h)equivminxinS|wh(x)|, where wh(x)=h(x)maxageq0:h(z)=h(x),xaleqzleqx+a. Let mathbbSell be the space of all samples in X of cardinality ell and consider sets of wide samples, i.e., {em hypersets} which are defined as . Through an application of the Sauer-Shelah result on the density of sets an upper estimate is obtained on the growth function (or trace) of the class , , i.e., on the number of possible dichotomies obtained by intersecting all hypersets with a fixed collection of samples SinmathbbSell of cardinality m. The estimate is .
