ATS Methods: Nonparametric Regression for Non-Gaussian Data
ATS方法:非高斯数据的非参数回归
ATS methods provide an approach to fitting curves and surfaces to data using nonparametric regression when distributions are not necessarily Gaussian. First, a small amount of local averaging (the “A” in ATS) is carried out, then a variance-stabilizing transformation is applied (“T”), and finally the result is smoothed (“S”) using a nonparametric regression procedure. ATS methods are quite broad in terms of applications; in this article we show how they can be used for…
