  2. Kernel regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_regression

    In statistics, kernel regression is a non-parametric technique to estimate the conditional expectation of a random variable. The objective is to find a non-linear relation between a pair of random variables X and Y .

  3. Kernel (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_(statistics)

    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.

  4. Kernel density estimation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_density_estimation

    Kernel density estimation of 100 normally distributed random numbers using different smoothing bandwidths.. In statistics, kernel density estimation (KDE) is the application of kernel smoothing for probability density estimation, i.e., a non-parametric method to estimate the probability density function of a random variable based on kernels as weights.

  5. Nonparametric regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonparametric_regression

    Kernel regression estimates the continuous dependent variable from a limited set of data points by convolving the data points' locations with a kernel function—approximately speaking, the kernel function specifies how to "blur" the influence of the data points so that their values can be used to predict the value for nearby locations.

  6. Multivariate kernel density estimation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multivariate_kernel...

    The resulting kernel density estimate converges rapidly to the true probability distribution as samples are added: at a rate close to the expected for parametric estimators. [20] [21] [22] This kernel estimator works for univariate and multivariate

  7. Kernel smoother - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_smoother

    A kernel smoother is a statistical technique to estimate a real valued function: as the weighted average of neighboring observed data. The weight is defined by the kernel, such that closer points are given higher weights. The estimated function is smooth, and the level of smoothness is set by a single parameter.

  8. Kernel method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_method

    Kernel methods owe their name to the use of kernel functions, which enable them to operate in a high-dimensional, implicit feature space without ever computing the coordinates of the data in that space, but rather by simply computing the inner products between the images of all pairs of data in the feature space. This operation is often ...

  9. Principal component regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principal_component_regression

    Kernel PCR essentially works around this problem by considering an equivalent dual formulation based on using the spectral decomposition of the associated kernel matrix. 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 ...
