We study the problem of estimating multiple predictive functions from a dictionary of basis functions in the nonparametric regression setting. Our estimation scheme assumes that each predictive function can be estimated in the form of a linear combination of the basis functions. By assuming that...

A family of new conjugate gradient methods is proposed based on Perry’s idea, which satisfies the descent property or the sufficient descent property for any line search. In addition, based on the scaling technology and the restarting strategy, a family of scaling symmetric Perry conjugate...
