Abstract

For kn-nearest neighbor estimates of a regression Y on X (d-dimensional random vector X, integrable real random variable Y) based on observed independent copies of (X,Y), strong universal pointwise consistency is shown, i.e., strong consistency PX-almost everywhere for general distribution of (X,Y). With tie-breaking by indices, this means validity of a universal strong law of large numbers for conditional expectations E(Y|X=x).
