Robust testing of low-dimensional functions

A natural problem in high-dimensional inference is to decide if a classifier $f:\mathbb{R}^n \rightarrow [-1,1]$ depends on a small number of linear directions of its input data. Call a function $g: \mathbb{R}^n \rightarrow [-1,1]$, a linear $k$-junta if it is completely determined by some $k$-dimensional subspace of the input space. A ...More
