| Nonparametric modeling is widely employed in modern statistical analysis in cases where only limited knowledge of the underlying model is available. You can use nonparametric modeling to discover nonlinear dependencies in your data, enabling you to develop parsimonious parametric models. This workshop is intended for a broad audience of statisticians and data analysts who are interested in nonparametric regression modeling. In it, I will describe methods and SAS tools for fitting local regression models with the LOESS procedure, penalized spline models with the TRANSREG procedure, thin-plate spline models with the TPSPLINE procedure, generalized additive models with the GAM procedure, penalized spline and radial basis function models using a mixed model approach with the GLIMMIX procedure, and selected basis functions models with the GLMSELECT procedure. The audience should have a basic understanding of regression theory. | ||
