✦ Synopsis

Near-infrared (J, H and K bands) spectra of nine dark asteroids (chosen among a sample of supposed primitive objects between C and D classes) have been obtained at the Mauna Kea Observatory (Hawaii) with the 2.2-m telescope using KSPEC as spectrograph. The aim of this work was to search for evidence of the presence of organic materials in these objects as found in other planetary bodies as 5145 Pholus, and in some cometary nuclei. A careful analysis of the data has revealed flat or slightly redder spectra than the solar one for all observed asteroids. No evidence of distinct absorption features was found.

Nonlinear models such as neural networks and support vector machines are used with particular consideration of their generalization potential. To assess the model predictions without knowledge of the true output, prediction intervals are calculated by bootstrap procedures. As an example, the estimat
