Description

Nonparametric analysis is widely used to model data for which knowledge of the underlying model is limited. The objective are to describe the use of new nonparametric tools in SAS software for feature identification, data compression, curve fitting, and surface modeling. This workshop demonstrates how to: fit local regression models with the LOESS procedures; fit thin plate smoothing spline models with the TPSPLINE procedure; fit generalized additive models with the GAM procedure; and perform wavelet analysis with new SAS/IML subroutines. The audience should have a basic understanding of regression theory.
