'''Nonparametric regression''' is a form of [[regression analysis]] where the predictor does not take a predetermined form but is completely constructed using information derived from the data. That is, no [[parametric equation]] is assumed for the relationship between [[Dependent_and_independent_variables|predictors]] and dependent variable. A larger [[Sampling_(statistics)|sample]] size is needed to build a nonparametric model having athe same level of [[Prediction_interval|uncertainty]] as a [[parametric model]] because the data must supply both the model structure and the parameter estimates.
