A number of years ago I wrote a package for non-parametric regression and density estimation. I have finally got around to posting it on the Wolfram Library site: http://library.wolfram.com/ Regards, Bernard Gress Here is the old blurb: NonParametrix.m is a Mathematica package that provides many of the basic (as well as a few advanced) functions often used in nonparametric econometrics and statistics, as described in, for example, Pagan and Ullah (1999), Silverman (1986), or H=E4rdle (1989). NPKDense Provides nonparametric density estimation of multivariate data with user-defined kernels. Includes very fast routines for standard kernels such as the normal, Epanechinikov, and the uniform. NPRegress Uses optimized, high-speed routines to fit an arbitrary order, nonparametric local polynomial regression estimation on multivariate data of any dimension, with pre-defined or user-defined kernels. Also estimates slopes, regression residuals, confidence intervals, and can output an Interpolating function of the Fits to use elsewhere. Also includes high-speed local polynomial, generalized least squares (GLS) routines. CrossValidatedH Finds the optimal window width ('h') for multivariate nonparametric regressions. Includes mean square error, root mean square error, median absolute error, mean absolute percentage error, and median prediction error loss functions. Allows the user to select many of the parameters of the cross-validation routine. Also allows for the use of arbitrary kernels, albeit at much slower speeds. Other Assorted Functions SilvermanH calculates the well-known asymptotic kernel window width for data of arbitrary dimensions. FastNPDensity provides very quick and dirty univariate density estimation when the user is mostly interested in quick visualization of data. MultipleKDensityPlot provides quick and dirty estimation of multiple densities, color coded for easy data visualization.
