Non-parametric Regression Methods

Non-parametric Regression Methods

- [Narrator] Up to this point, your exploration has been largely guided by structured paths of linear and polynomial regression models. However, just like a skate park with its unexpected twists, turns, and obstacles, real world data often defy these linear confines, presenting you with patterns and relationships that are intricate and nonlinear. It's time to introduce nonparametric regression methods, your toolkit for navigating these complex terrains. Nonparametric regression methods are like freestyle skateboarding, where the skater is not limited to predefined ramps or obstacles, but creatively interacts with the environment using its unique features to perform tricks. Similarly, nonparametric methods do not assume a predetermined form for the relationship between variables, offering you the flexibility to model data as it is in all its complexity. Here are three nonparametric regression methods: Decision trees…
