In this work, we introduce and study a random orthogonal projection based least squares estimator for the stable solution of a multivariate nonparametric regression (MNPR) problem. More precisely, given an integer d ≥ 1 corresponding to the dimension of the MNPR problem, a positive integer N ≥ 1 and a real parameter α ≥ − 1 2 , we show that a fairly large class of d−variate regression functions are well and stably approximated by its random projection over the orthonormal set of tensor product d−variate Jacobi polynomials with parameters (α, α). The associated uni-variate Jacobi polynomials have degree at most N and their tensor products are orthonormal over U = [0, 1] d , with respect to the associated multivariate Jacobi weights. In particular, if we consider n random sampling points X i following the d−variate Beta distribution, with parameters (α + 1, α + 1), then we give a relation involving n, N, α to ensure that the resulting (N + 1) d × (N + 1) d random projection matrix is well conditioned. This is important in the sense that unlike most least squares based estimators, no extra regularization scheme is needed by our proposed estimator. Moreover, we provide squared integrated as well as L 2 −risk errors of this estimator. Precise estimates of these errors are given in the case where the regression function belongs to an isotropic Sobolev space H s (I d ), with s > d 2 . Also, to handle the general and practical case of an unknown distribution of the X i , we use Shepard's scattered interpolation scheme in order to generate fairly precise approximations of the observed data at n i.i.d. sampling points X i following a d−variate Beta distribution. Finally, we illustrate the performance of our proposed multivariate nonparametric estimator by some numerical simulations with synthetic as well as real data.
