contents Predicting the value of a function $f$ at a new point given its values at old points is an ubiquitous scientific endeavor, somewhat less developed when $f$ produces multiple values that depend on one another, e.g. when it outputs likelihoods or concentrations. Considering the points as fixed (not random) entities and focusing on the worst-case, this article uncovers a prediction procedure that is optimal relatively to some model-set information about $f$. When the model sets are convex, this procedure turns out to be an affine map constructed by solving a convex optimization program. The theoretical result is specified in the two practical frameworks of (reproducing kernel) Hilbert spaces and of spaces of continuous functions.
