Sommario/riassunto

What does it mean to write ""I"" in postmodern society, in a world in which technological advances and increased globalization have complicated notions of authenticity, origins, and selfhood? Under what circumstances and to what extent do authors lend their scriptural authority to fictional counterparts? What role does naming, or, conversely, anonymity play vis-à-vis the writing and written ""I""? What aspects of identity are subject to (auto)fictional manipulations? And how do these complicated ...

Sommario/riassunto

An easy-to-grasp introduction to nonparametric regressionThis book's straightforward, step-by-step approach provides an excellent introduction to the field for novices of nonparametric regression. Introduction to Nonparametric Regression clearly explains the basic concepts underlying nonparametric regression and features:* Thorough explanations of various techniques, which avoid complex mathematics and excessive abstract theory to help readers intuitively grasp the value of nonparametric regression methods* Statistical techniques accompanied by clear numerical examples that fur
