A Unifying Approach to Nonparametric Regression Estimation
非参数回归估计的统一方法
There exists a variety of nonparametric regression estimators, with cubic smoothing splines, k-nearest-neighbor (k-NN) estimators, and various types of kernel estimators among the most popular. A class of kernel estimators with local bandwidth depending on the density of the design points is introduced, where the degree of design adaptation may be expressed by a single parameter α in [0, 1]. The adaptation to the design is such that the bandwidth is made larger, to a degree…
