Local Regression

Local regression, also known as locally weighted regression, is a statistical technique used to analyze relationships within data. Instead of fitting a single line to all data points, local regression focuses on a specific area or subset of the data. It creates a smooth curve by considering only the points near a given value, adjusting the influence of each point based on its distance from that value. This approach is useful for capturing complex patterns and trends that a simple linear regression might miss, offering a more accurate understanding of how variables relate to one another in localized regions.
