The problem of nonparametric estimation of a bounded regression function f L ² ( [ a , b ] d ) , [a,b] ⊂ ℝ, d ≥ 1, using an orthonormal system of functions e k , k=1,2,..., is considered in the case when the observations follow the model Y i = f ( X i ) + η i , i=1,...,n, where X i and η i are i.i.d. copies of independent random variables X and η, respectively, the distribution of X has density ϱ, and η has mean zero and finite variance. The estimators are constructed by proper truncation of the function f ̂ ( x ) = k = 1 N ( n ) c ̂ k e k ( x ) , where the coefficients c ̂ , . . . , c ̂ N ( n ) are determined by minimizing the empirical risk n - 1 i = 1 n ( Y i - k = 1 N ( n ) c k e k ( X i ) ) ² . Sufficient conditions for convergence rates of the generalization error E X | f ( X ) - f ̂ ( X ) | ² are obtained.
