Smoothing Methods in Regression
Handouts/Course Notes

January 5: Birthweight data in-class handout
gives examples of parametric and gam analysis of 0-1 data, to estimate the probability
of survival of newborns as a function of birthweight and gestation period.
For data:
Description,
Data
January 12: Methods in-class handout
describes some smoothing methods and applies them to a fictitious data
set.
After lecture January 12: Nadaraya-Watson Estimate Part 1
definition, examples, asymptotics for a simple case. Not distributed in lecture.
January 19: Nadaraya-Watson Estimate
contains January 12 Nadaray-Watson blurb (with minor corrections), plus two new sections on general
asymptotics.
Not distributed in lecture.
January 26: Splus function myksmooth, to calculate the Nadaraya-Watson
estimate using a kernel of order 4
February 2:
Number of parameters: Splus work on looking
at the trace of the hat matrix;
Smoothing Parameter: Choosing the
smoothing parameter using the truth, using the data and plug-in
methods
