Abstract
An important issue common to these three articles is the matter of irregularly spaced design. The ridge regression methods addressed by Seifert and Gasser would not be necessary if design points were equally spaced; the rich variety of techniques considered by Marron is in part a response to the wide range of possible design configurations; and the nearest neighbour methods that underlie Cleveland and Loader’s algorithms are designed to provide adaptation to variations in design density.
