Jones, Lee K. On a conjecture of Huber concerning the convergence of projection pursuit regression. (English) Zbl 0664.62061 Ann. Stat. 15, 880-882 (1987). A generalized version of the projection pursuit regression procedure of J. H. Friedman and W. Stuetzle, J. Am. Stat. Assoc. 76, 817- 823 (1981), is proposed and its strong convergence is proved [see also the paper of P. J. Huber, Ann. Stat. 13, 435-525 (1985; Zbl 0595.62059)]. The proof is simple and based on two useful lemmas. The new version of the algorithm is easier to implement with less time spending performance.
