Support for Kernel Smoothing #313

Open jtejido opened 5 years ago

jtejido commented 5 years ago

Hi,

First if all, thanks a lot for this awesome library. I've noticed that the package already has KDE, but will it eventually support Smoothing?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Thank you for your interest in MathPHP and your kind words.

The answer to "will it eventually support xxx?" is possibly. It's a matter of priority and having the knowledge and/or well-documented algorithm with example data to implement it with confidence.

Smoothing seems like a big field. Are there specific statistical smoothing algorithms you are interested in or feel are more important than others? If we can identify the most important things as a smaller subset of functionality we could start planning for it for version 2.

The library already has LOESS smoothing. I would have to research what kernel smoothing is.
