Abstract: this paper we present an upper bound on the generalization error of any thresholded convex combination of functions which are themselves thresholded convex combinations of functions in terms of the margin and the average complexity of the combined functions. Furthermore, by considering a single hidden-layer threshold network as a convex combination of single perceptrons we obtain a similar bound on the generalization error of such networks in terms of the margin and the average complexity of...
