hi all
i have a another stats question.
i would like to solve the following question:
y(i)=a+b*x(i)+e(i)
i.e. estimate a and b (they should be fixed) but i
dont want to specify
the standard density to the straight line.
this can be done using kernel regression. the fitted
line is however
fitted locally. does anyone have a reference that will
help me with my
problem.
i am still new to kernels/kernel regression and would
like to get into
the subject.
