Testing Halfspaces

This paper addresses the problem of testing whether a Boolean-valued function f is a halfspace, i.e., a function of the form f(x)=sgn(w [dot] x-theta). We consider halfspaces over the continuous domain R[superscript n] (endowed with the standard multivariate Gaussian distribution) as well as halfspa...
