In many area of medical research, a relation analysis between one response variable and some explanatory variables is desirable. Regression is the most common tool in this situation. If we have some assumptions for such normality for response variable, we could use it. In this paper we propose a nonparametric regression that does not have normality assumption for response variable and we focus ...

Background: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a complex disorder considered as a worldwide epidemic. The aim of this study was to characterize the dietary patterns of Iranian adults and examine its association with metabolic syndrome. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 973 persons were selected using multi-stage cluster, random sampling method in Khorramabad city. Dietary intake was assessed us...

is called the regression function (of Y on X). The basic goal in nonparametric regression is to construct an estimate f̂ of f0, from i.i.d. samples (x1, y1), . . . (xn, yn) ∈ R × R that have the same joint distribution as (X,Y ). We often call X the input, predictor, feature, etc., and Y the output, outcome, response, etc. Importantly, in nonparametric regression we do not assume a certain param...
