Let a labeled dataset be given with scattered samples and consider the hypothesis of the ground-truth belonging to the reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) of a known positive-definite kernel. It is known that out-of-sample bounds can be established at unseen input locations, thus limiting the risk associated with learning this function. We show how computing tight, finite-sample uncertainty bounds amounts to solving parametric quadratically constrained linear programs. In our setting, the outputs are assumed to be contaminated by bounded measurement noise that can otherwise originate from any compactly supported distribution. No independence assumptions are made on the available data. Numerical experiments are presented to compare the present results with other closed-form alternatives.
