result FunBaT effectively handles real-world data with continuous indexes, demonstrating its advantage in synthetic and real-world applications.

Single index model is a powerful yet simple model, widely used in statistics, machine learning, and other scientific fields. It models the regression function as g(<a,x>)g(<a,x>), where a is an unknown index vector and x are the features. This paper deals with a nonlinear generalization of this framework to allow for a regre…
