Abstract

We compute the fat-shattering function and the level fat-shattering function for important classes of affine functions. We observe that the level fat-shattering function and the fat-shattering function are identical for these classes. In addition we observe that the notion that adding the constant term to linear functions increases the dimension by at most 1 is incorrect for fat-shattering and level fat-shattering.
