NadarayaWatsonkernel: Nadaraya-Watson kernel estimator

Description

Nadaraya (1964) and Watson (1964) proposed to estimate m as a locally weighted average, using a kernel as a weighting function.

Usage

NadarayaWatsonkernel(x, y, h, gridpoint)

Arguments

x

A set of x observations.

y

A set of y observations.

h

Optimal bandwidth chosen by the user.

gridpoint

A set of gridpoints.

Value

• gridpoint
  A set of gridpoints.
• mh
  Density values corresponding to the set of gridpoints.

Details

$\frac{\sum^n_{i=1}K_h(x-x_i)y_i}{\sum^n_{j=1}K_h(x-x_j)}$, where $K$ is a kernel function with a bandwidth h.
