That sounds pretty ad-hoc. Sure, you can throw an L1 or L2 regularizer on your objective function, but it should be well-motivated.

Should probably just use Gaussian process regression if you want to do inference over the space of all[1] functions in a principled (i.e. Bayesian) manner.

1. (or the space of all polynomial functions or something. I forget)



I don't think there's any consensus in the statistics community on which of the many ways to do inference over "nearly all" functions is the better one; nonparametric regression is basically a whole field, and pretty in flux over the past 10 years.
