This text complements the existing literature on nonparametric curve estimation in two ways. Firstly, it describes the underlying ideas of nonparametric density and regression estimation very intuitively by presenting a wide variety of different contexts and data structures. Secondly, techniques of inference based on these curve estimates are provided. These methods include the construction of confidence bands, the choice of the smoothing parameter, test procedures, model checking, the treatment of time series data and the analysis of additive models. Throughout the book graphical methods play a prominent role. This book is intended for those who seek an introduction to the area of smoothing techniques, with an emphasis on applications rather than on detailed mathematical theory. It is suitable for statisticians and researchers in other scientific areas, also for students of statistics. Exercises complete each chapter. Moreover, extensive reference is made to S-Plus as a computing environment in which examples can be explored. S-Plus functions and example scripts are provided to implement the described methods.
