Abstract: Working with data in high-dimensional or infinite-dimensional spaces often necessitates the use of dimensionality reduction techniques. One of the primary challenges is determining the number of components (or dimensions) to consider. A nonparametric technique is proposed to address this issue based on the concepts of complexity and small-ball probability. The method is demonstrated through examples and practical applications.
