Main themes
The topics treated during this course are :
1. Nonparametric estimation of a distribution function
2. Nonparametric estimation of a density function : the kernel method
3. Nonparametric estimation of a regression function :
- kernel estimation
- local polynomial estimation
- spline estimation
The material will essentially be treated from an applied point of view of methodology. The student will study software applications of the proposed methods.

| Aims |
Second course of general education in nonparametric statistics, which mainly focuses on smoothing methods.

Prerequisites
Basic knowledge about probability and statistics: descriptive statistics, calculating probabilities, distribution function, probability density, means, variances (conditionally or not), linear regression. It is advisable (but not necessary) to follow the course STAT2140 before.
