KRLS

Kernel-Based Regularized Least Squares

v1.7-0 · Jun 5, 2026 · GPL (>= 2)

Description

Implements Kernel-based Regularized Least Squares (KRLS), a machine learning method to fit multidimensional functions y = f(x) for regression and classification problems without relying on linearity or additivity assumptions. KRLS finds the best fitting function by minimizing the squared loss of a Tikhonov regularization problem, using Gaussian kernels as radial basis functions. For further details see Hainmueller and Hazlett (2014, <doi:10.1093/pan/mpt019>).
