Python: the KernelReg class for mixed data types in the statsmodels.nonparametric sub-package (includes other kernel density related classes), the package kernel_regression as an extension of scikit-learn (inefficient memory-wise, useful only for small datasets) R: the function npreg of the np package can perform kernel regression.

Kernel density estimate with diagonal bandwidth for synthetic normal mixture data. We consider estimating the density of the Gaussian mixture (4π) −1 exp(− 1 ⁄ 2 (x 1 2 + x 2 2)) + (4π) −1 exp(− 1 ⁄ 2 ((x 1 - 3.5) 2 + x 2 2)), from 500 randomly generated points. We employ the Matlab routine for 2-dimensional data.
In nonparametric statistics, a kernel is a weighting function used in non-parametric estimation techniques. Kernels are used in kernel density estimation to estimate random variables' density functions, or in kernel regression to estimate the conditional expectation of a random variable.
In statistics, adaptive or "variable-bandwidth" kernel density estimation is a form of kernel density estimation in which the size of the kernels used in the estimate are varied depending upon either the location of the samples or the location of the test point. It is a particularly effective technique when the sample space is multi-dimensional.
where are the input samples and () is the kernel function (or Parzen window). is the only parameter in the algorithm and is called the bandwidth. This approach is known as kernel density estimation or the Parzen window technique. Once we have computed () from the equation above, we can find its local maxima using gradient ascent or some other optimization technique. The problem with this ...
Under the linear regression model (which corresponds to choosing the kernel function as the linear kernel), this amounts to considering a spectral decomposition of the corresponding kernel matrix and then regressing the outcome vector on a selected subset of the eigenvectors of so obtained. It can be easily shown that this is the same as ...
Therefore, the kernel derived from LMC is a sum of the products of two covariance functions, one that models the dependence between the outputs, independently of the input vector (the coregionalization matrix ), and one that models the input dependence, independently of {()} = (the covariance function (, ′)).
Multiple kernel learning refers to a set of machine learning methods that use a predefined set of kernels and learn an optimal linear or non-linear combination of kernels as part of the algorithm. Reasons to use multiple kernel learning include a) the ability to select for an optimal kernel and parameters from a larger set of kernels, reducing ...
