- Sieve estimator
In
statistics , sieve estimators are a class of nonparametricestimator which use progressively more complex models to estimate an unknown high-dimensional function as more data becomes available, with the aim of asymptotically reducing error towards zero as the amount of data increases. This method is generally attributed toU. Grenander .See also
