New method accurately predicts missing data in regression models, improving accuracy.
The article looks at how to estimate the error distribution in nonparametric regression when some data is missing. They use a method called local polynomial smoothing to estimate the regression function. The researchers found that using only complete cases to estimate the error distribution is an efficient method. They also discovered a way to estimate different aspects of the error distribution accurately. Additionally, they showed that this method follows a specific statistical pattern. Finally, they tested their method in a simulation study to see how well it works.
