Applied Nonparametric Regression brings together in one place the
techniques for regression curve smoothing involving more than one
variable. The computer and the development of interactive graphics
programs has made curve estimation popular. This volume focuses on
the applications and practical problems of two central aspects of
curve smoothing: the choice of smoothing parameters and the
construction of confidence bounds. The methods covered in this text
have numerous applications in many areas using statistical
analysis. Examples are drawn from economics--such as the estimation
of Engel curves--as well as other disciplines including medicine
and engineering. For practical applications of these methods a
computing environment for exploratory Regression--XploRe--is
described.
