DescriptionContentsResourcesCoursesAbout the Authors
Interest in nonparametric methodology has grown considerably over the past few decades, stemming in part from vast improvements in computer hardware and the availability of new software that allows practitioners to take full advantage of these numerically intensive methods. This book is written for advanced undergraduate students, intermediate graduate students, and faculty, and provides a complete teaching and learning course at a more accessible level of theoretical rigor than Racine's earlier book co-authored with Qi Li, Nonparametric Econometrics: Theory and Practice (2007). The open source R platform for statistical computing and graphics is used throughout in conjunction with the R package np. Recent developments in reproducible research is emphasized throughout with appendices devoted to helping the reader get up to speed with R, R Markdown, TeX and Git.

R code is provided for all examples and can be studied and modified by the reader
Each chapter ends with a 'Practitioner's Corner' providing a set of commented examples in R that can be refined by the reader to suit their needs
An online solutions manual is available to instructors along with LaTeX beamer PDF formatted slides authored in R Markdown that can be modified and tailored to an instructor's needs
