Partial derivatives have a special place in economics since the marginal revolution of the 1850s. We present results from multivariate partial derivative estimates using nonlinear non-parametric regressions in a finite difference method, accessible via the R-package NNS. Numerical partial...

We present a fundamentally unique method of nonparametric regression using clusters and test it against classically established methods. We compare two nonlinear regression estimation packages called ‘NNS', Viole (NNS: nonlinear nonparametric statistics, 2016), and ‘np', Hayfield and Racine...
