Description

The author has attempted to present a book that provides a non-technical introduction into the area of non-parametric density and regression function estimation.

The application of these methods is discussed in terms of the S computing environment.

Smoothing in high dimensions faces the problem of data sparseness.

A principal feature of smoothing, the averaging of data points in a prescribed neighborhood, is not really practicable in dimensions greater than three if we have just one hundred data points.

Additive models provide a way out of this dilemma; but, for their interactiveness and recursiveness, they require highly effective algorithms.

For this purpose, the method of WARPing (Weighted Averaging using Rounded Points) is described in great detail.
