Abstract

In recent years, nonparametric kernel estimation of regresion function are abundant and widely applicable to many areas of statistics. Most of modern researches concerned with the fixed global bandwidth selection which can be used in the estimation of regression function with all the same value for all x. In this paper, we propose a method for selecting locally varing bandwidth based on bootstrap method in kernel estimation of fixed design regression. Performance of proposed bandwidth selection method for finite sample case is conducted via Monte Carlo simulation study.
