contents This paper focuses on random projection operators when the subspace of projection is estimated. We derive non-asymptotic upper bounds on the error between the projection onto the estimated subspace and the projection onto the underlying subspace. The provided upper bounds depend on the noise and on intrinsic properties of the estimated subspace. Several scenarios are considered according to the distribution of the estimator of the matrix spanning the subspace. The aforementioned bounds are attained under a structural assumption on the Gram matrix associated with the subspace. Regularized estimators are introduced to circumvent this assumption. An example is given in the partial least square (PLS) framework where the estimated subspace is spanned by the PLS weights.
