Dictionary Modeling on a Hilbert Sphere in RKHS.
(a) Points xn in input space get mapped implicitly, via several popular Mercer kernels, to yn := Φ(xn) on a Hilbert sphere in RKHS.
(b) Dictionary atoms dk, on the Hilbert sphere in RKHS, being used to fit to a point yn.

Robust Kernel Principal Nested Spheres.
Input datum xi (orange) gets implicitly mapped to Φ(xi) (blue) on the unit Hilbert sphere in RKHS, centered at the origin.
A Hilbert subsphere O(v,r) (black) is parameterized by an axis v (magenta) orthogonal to itself and a geodesic distance r.
In each iteration, rkPNS
(i) fits a subsphere to the data and
(ii) projects the data (red) onto the subsphere using the minimal geodesic (green) between them.
