Kernel Regression
Kernel regression estimates the continuous dependent variable from a limited set of data points by convolving the data points' locations with a kernel function - approximately speaking, the kernel function specifies how to "blur" the influence of the data points so that their values can be used to predict the value for nearby locations.

Famous quotes containing the word kernel:
“All true histories contain instruction; though, in some, the treasure may be hard to find, and when found, so trivial in quantity that the dry, shrivelled kernel scarcely compensates for the trouble of cracking the nut.”
—Anne Brontë (1820–1849)
