NxKREG - Kernel Regression

Returns the (Nadaraya–Watson) kernel regression.

Syntax

NxKREG(X, Y, P, Kernel, H, Optimize, Target, Return)

X

is the x-component of the input data table (a one-dimensional array of cells (e.g. rows or columns)).

Y

is the y-component (i.e. function) of the input data table (a one-dimensional array of cells (e.g. rows or columns)).

P

is the polynomial order (0 = constant, 1 = linear, 2 = Quadratic, 3 = Cubic, etc.), etc.). If missing, P = 0.

Kernel

is the weighting kernel function used with KNN-Regression method : 0(or missing) = Uniform, 1 = Triangular, 2 = Epanechnikov, 3 = Quartic, 4 = Triweight, 5 = Tricube, 6 = Gaussian, 7 = Cosine, 8 = Logistic, 9 = Sigmoid, 10 = Silverman.

Value	Kernel
0	Uniform Kernel (default).
1	Triangular Kernel.
2	Epanechnikov Kernel.
3	Quartic Kernel.
4	Triweight Kernel.
5	Tricube Kernel.
6	Gaussian Kernel.
7	Cosine Kernel.
8	Logistic Kernel.
9	Sigmoid Kernel.
10	Silverman Kernel.

H

is the smoothing parameter (bandwidth) of the kernel density estimator. If missing, a default value of one(1) is assumed.

Optimize

is a flag (True/False) for searching and using optimal integer value K (i.e. number of data points). If missing or omitted, optimize is assumed False.

target

is the desired x-value(s) to interpolate for (a single value or a one-dimensional array of cells (e.g. rows or columns)).

Return

is a number that determines the type of return value: 0 = Forecast (default), 1 = errors, 2 = Smoothing parameter (bandwidth), 3 = RMSE (CV). If missing or omitted, NxREG returns forecast/regression value(s).

Return	Description
0	Forecast/Regression value(s) (default).
1	Forecast/Regression error(s).
2	Kernel Smoothing parameter (bandwidth).
3	RMSE (cross-validation).

Remarks

1. The number of rows of the response variable (Y) must be equal to the number of rows of the explanatory variable (X).
2. Observations (i.e. rows) with missing values in X or Y are removed.
3. The NxKREG() function is available starting with version 1.66 PARSON.
