The thesis compares several non-linear regression methods on synthetic data sets gen- erated using standard benchmarks for a continuous black-box optimization. For that com- parison, we have chosen the following regression methods: radial basis function networks, Gaussian processes, support vector regression and random forests. We have also included polynomial regression which we use to explain the basic principles of regression. The com- parison of these methods is discussed in the context of black-box optimization problems where the selected methods can be applied as surrogate models. The methods are evalu- ated based on their mean-squared error and on the Kendall's rank correlation coefficient between the ordering of function values according to the model and according to the function used to generate the data. 1
