Abstract
In the context of Nadaraya-Watson kernel nonparametric regression, the curve estimation is fully depending on the smoothing parameter. At this point, the nature-inspired algorithms can be used as an alternative tool to find the optimal selection. In this paper, a firefly optimization algorithm method is proposed to choose the smoothing parameter in Nadaraya-Watson kernel nonparametric regression. The proposed method will efficiently help to find the best smoothing parameter with a high prediction. The proposed method is compared with four famous methods. The experimental results comprehensively demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method in terms of prediction capability.- Article View: 26
