The ?Actual? Nadaraya Watson Model

We can do kernel regression starting with kernel density estimation.

$$p(\bar{x},t) = \frac{1}{N} \Sigma_{n=1}^{N}f(\bar{x}-\bar{x}_{n}, t-t_{n})$$

where latex($f(\bar{x},t)$) is the component density function, and there is one such component centered on each data point.

The regression function, latex($y(\bar{x})$), which is the conditional average of the target variable conditioned on the input variable:


\Large
\begin{eqnarray}
y(\bar{x}) = \mathbb{E}
\left[t|\mathbf{x}\right] = \int_{\infty}^{\infty}tp(t|\mathbf{x})dt \\
= \frac{\Sigma_{n}\int{tf(\mathbf{x}-\mathbf{x}_{n}, t-t_{n})dt}}{\Sigma_{m}\int{tf(\mathbf{x}-\mathbf{x}_{m}, t-t_{m})dt}}
\end{eqnarray}

We then assume that the component density functions have zero mean so that:


\Large
\begin{eqnarray}
\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}f(\mathbf{x},t)tdt = 0\\
y(\mathbf{x}) =\Sigma_n k(\mathbf{x},\mathbf{x}_n)t_n 
\end{eqnarray}
where \\
$$k(\mathbf{x},\mathbf{x}_n) = \frac{g(\mathbf{x}-\mathbf{x}_n}{\Sigma_{m} g(\mathbf{x}-\mathbf{x}_m}$$\\
$$g(\mathbf{x}) = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty}f(\mathbf{x},t)dt$$
