Exercise 5.1
Answers
(a) For , there are possible input points in total. Given the number of input points , there are ways to select one of the input points to evaluate to , and the rest of the input points to evaluate to . There are ways to assign either or to the points not in the input data set. So there are total hypothesis functions in . Similarly there are hypothesis functions in .
(b)-(c) For both and , we need bits to specify one hypothesis function. The bits can represent all the data points in the domain. If a bit position is 1, it indicates that the hypothesis function evaluates to on the corresponding point, otherwise it evaluates to .
From above, we learned that the family of is more complex than the family of , But their object complexity is the same.
