Kernel-based approximation methods using MATLAB

In an attempt to introduce application scientists and graduate students to the exciting topic of positive definite kernels and radial basis functions, this book presents modern theoretical results on kernel-based approximation methods and demonstrates their implementation in a variety of fields of application. With the aim of providing researchers involved in function approximation, boundary value problems, spatial statistics and machine learning with the flexible and high-order tools developed using kernels, the authors explore their historical context and explain recent advances as…
