A support vector machine (SVM) is a software system that can perform binary classification. For example, you can use an SVM to create a model that predicts the sex of a person (male, female) based on ...

I've been using Savitzky-Golay (SG) filters for quite a while, but always on 1D data, using an implementation based on the algorithm from the Numerical Recipes to calculate the kernel (mask, ...

The kernel estimator fits a local mean at each point x and thus cannot even estimate a line without bias (Cleveland, Cleveland, Devlin and Grosse 1988). An estimator based on locally-weighted ...

SAS/INSIGHT software provides nonparametric curve-fitting estimates from smoothing spline, kernel, loess, and fixed bandwidth local polynomial estimators that are alternatives to fitting polynomials.
