Coefficient-based Regularization Network with Variance Loss for Error.

Loss function is the key element of a learning algorithm. Based on the regression learning algorithm with an offset, the coefficient-based regularization network with variance loss is proposed. The variance loss is different from the usual least quare loss, hinge loss and pinball loss, it induces a kind of samples cross empirical risk. Also, our coefficient-based regularization only relies on general kernel, i.e. the kernel is required to possess continuity, boundedness and satisfy some mild differentiability condition. These two characteristics bring essential difficulties to the theoretical analysis of this learning scheme. By the hypothesis space strategy and the error decomposition technique in [L. Shi, Learning theory estimates for coefficient-based regularized regression, Appl. Comput. Harmon. Anal. 34 (2013) 252–265], a capacity-dependent error analysis is completed, satisfactory error bound and learning rates are then derived under a very mild regularity condition on the regression function. Also, we find an effective way to deal with the learning problem with samples cross empirical risk.
