Decentralized diffusion-based learning under non-parametric limited prior knowledge
We study the problem of diffusion-based network learning of a nonlinear phenomenon, m, from local agents' measurements collected in a noisy environment. For a decentralized network and information spreading merely between directly neighboring nodes, we propose a non-parametric learning algorithm, that avoids raw data exchange and requires only mild a priori knowledge about m. Non-asymptotic estimation error bounds are derived for the proposed method. Its potential applications are illustrated through simulation experiments.
