A polynomial kernel is like a zoom lens that brings distant curves into focus. The RBF kernel is like a fish-eye lens that captures complex scenes with intricate details.

This is known as the kernel trick. If a linear kernel function such as an inner product is used, then kernelization is a form of dimensionality reduction. If a nonlinear kernel function such as a ...

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

We investigate the extension of the nonparametric regression technique of local polynomial fitting with a kernel weight to generalized linear models and quasi-likelihood contexts. In the ordinary ...
