Nyström method has been successfully used to improve the computational efficiency of kernel ridge regression (KRR). Recently, theoretical analysis of Nyström KRR, including generalization bound and convergence rate, has been established based on reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) associated with the symmetric positive semi-definite kernel. However, in real world applications, RKHS is not always optimal and kernel function is not necessary to be symmetric or positive semi-definite.
