Kernel regression

In statistics, kernel regression is a non-parametric technique to estimate the conditional expectation of a random variable. The objective is to find a non-linear relation between a pair of random variables X and Y. In any nonparametric regression, the conditional expectation of a variable Y relative to a variable X may be written: : \operatorname{E}(Y \mid X) = m(X) where m is an unknown function.
