Nonlinear nonparametric statistics (NNS) algorithm offers new tools for curve fitting. A relationship between k-means clustering and NNS regression points is explored with graphics showing a perfect fit in the limit. The goal of this paper is to demonstrate NNS as a form of unsupervised...

NNS stands for Nonlinear Nonparametric Statistics, henceforth "NNS". What is NNS clustering analysis? NNS clustering is a method of partitioning the joint distribution into partial moment quadrants (clustering), and assigning identifiers to observations (classification). NNS clustering is very...

We present a fundamentally unique method of nonparametric regression using clusters and test it against classically established methods. We compare two nonlinear regression estimation packages called ‘NNS', Viole (NNS: nonlinear nonparametric statistics, 2016), and ‘np', Hayfield and Racine...

Demonstration of nonlinear nonparametric regression technique using R-package "NNS" and comparison to kernel based regression methods in goodness of fit, partial derivative estimation, and out-of-sample extrapolation
