Summary
-------
In regression, how to best approximate the regression function or view
high dimensional data in a (hopefully much) lower dimensional subspace
is of primary importance. We present an approach which makes no parametric
assumption on the functional form of the regression surface, does not
restrict the regressors to be independent or to follow any particular type
of distribution, and requires no under-smoothing of the nonparametric
estimate of the unknown regression function.
