Abstract
A general notion of universal consistency of nonparametric
estimators is introduced that applies to regression estimation,
conditional median estimation, curve fitting, pattern recognition, and
learning concepts. General methods for proving consistency of estimators
based on minimizing the empirical error are shown. In particular,
distribution-free almost sure consistency of neural network estimates
and generalized linear estimators is established
