Fast Local Polynomial Regression and Kernel Density Estimation using Non-Uniform Fast Fourier Transform (NUFFT).

## Overview

**fastLPR** is a Python implementation of fast local polynomial regression using custom NUFFT algorithms.

**Features:**
- **Local Polynomial Regression** (orders 0, 1, 2) with automatic bandwidth selection
- **Kernel Density Estimation** (1D, 2D, 3D) with cross-validation
- **Heteroscedastic Variance Estimation** with intervals (CI and PI)
- **Complex-valued Response** support
- **Custom NUFFT Implementation** using Gaussian gridding (Dutt & Rokhlin 1993)
- **O(N + M log M) Complexity** for efficient large-scale regression

**Note:** This is a direct translation of the MATLAB reference implementation, numerically verified against MATLAB with all 10/10 cross-validation tests passing.

## Installation

cd fastLPR/fastLPR_py

# Install in development mode

```

### Install with development dependencies

```bash

```

## Quick Start

### Basic 1D Regression

```python
from fastlpr import cv_fastlpr, get_hlist
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Generate data
np.random.seed(42)
x = np.random.rand(500, 1)
y = np.sin(2 * np.pi * x).ravel() + 0.2 * np.random.randn(500)

# Create bandwidth list (20 candidates from 0.02 to 0.5)
hlist = get_hlist(20, [0.02, 0.5])

# Run regression with automatic bandwidth selection (GCV)
opt = {'order': 1, 'dstd': 1}  # Local linear regression with 1-SE rule
regs = cv_fastlpr(x, y, hlist, opt)

# Access results
print(f"Selected bandwidth: {regs.bandwidth}")
print(f"DOF: {regs.dof:.2f}")

# Plot results
sorted_idx = np.argsort(x.ravel())
plt.scatter(x, y, alpha=0.3, label='Data')
plt.plot(x[sorted_idx], regs.yhat[sorted_idx], 'r-', linewidth=2, label='Fitted')
plt.legend()
plt.show()
```

### Kernel Density Estimation (1D/2D/3D)

```python
from fastlpr import cv_fastkde, get_hlist
import numpy as np

# 1D KDE
x_1d = np.random.randn(1000, 1)
hlist_1d = get_hlist(20, [0.1, 1.0])
kde_1d = cv_fastkde(x_1d, hlist_1d)
print(f"1D bandwidth: {kde_1d.bandwidth}")

# 2D KDE
x_2d = np.random.randn(1000, 2)
hlist_2d = get_hlist([10, 10], [[0.1, 1.0], [0.1, 1.0]])
kde_2d = cv_fastkde(x_2d, hlist_2d)
print(f"2D bandwidth: {kde_2d.bandwidth}")

# 3D KDE (use flag_power2=False for memory efficiency)
x_3d = np.random.randn(500, 3)
hlist_3d = get_hlist([5, 5, 5], [[0.2, 1.0], [0.2, 1.0], [0.2, 1.0]])
opt = {'flag_power2': False}
kde_3d = cv_fastkde(x_3d, hlist_3d, opt)
print(f"3D bandwidth: {kde_3d.bandwidth}")
```

### Complex-Valued Regression

```python
from fastlpr import cv_fastlpr, get_hlist
import numpy as np

# Complex response
x = np.sort(np.random.rand(500, 1), axis=0)
y_complex = (np.sin(2*np.pi*x) + 0.1*np.random.randn(500, 1)).ravel() + \
            1j * (np.cos(2*np.pi*x) + 0.1*np.random.randn(500, 1)).ravel()

hlist = get_hlist(20, [0.02, 0.5])
opt = {'order': 1}
regs = cv_fastlpr(x, y_complex, hlist, opt)

print(f"Complex regression bandwidth: {regs.bandwidth}")
```

### Heteroscedastic Variance Estimation

```python
from fastlpr import cv_fastlpr, get_hlist
import numpy as np

# Generate heteroscedastic data
x = np.sort(np.random.rand(500, 1), axis=0)
var_true = 0.1 + 0.4 * x.ravel()**2
y = np.sin(2*np.pi*x).ravel() + np.sqrt(var_true) * np.random.randn(500)

hlist = get_hlist(20, [0.02, 0.5])

# Step 1: Estimate mean
opt_mean = {'order': 1, 'y_type_out': 'mean', 'dstd': 1}
regs_mean = cv_fastlpr(x, y, hlist, opt_mean)

# Step 2: Estimate variance from squared residuals
residuals = y - regs_mean.yhat
opt_var = {'order': 1, 'y_type_out': 'variance', 'dstd': 5}
regs_var = cv_fastlpr(x, residuals**2, hlist, opt_var)

print(f"Mean bandwidth: {regs_mean.bandwidth}")
print(f"Variance bandwidth: {regs_var.bandwidth}")
```

### Prediction at New Points

```python
from fastlpr import cv_fastlpr, get_hlist
import numpy as np

# Fit model
x = np.sort(np.random.rand(500, 1), axis=0)
y = np.sin(2*np.pi*x).ravel() + 0.1*np.random.randn(500)
hlist = get_hlist(20, [0.02, 0.5])
regs = cv_fastlpr(x, y, hlist, {'order': 1})

# Predict at new points using interpolant
x_new = np.linspace(0, 1, 100).reshape(-1, 1)
y_pred = regs.interpolant(x_new)
```

## Cross-Validation Results

The Python implementation has been comprehensively verified against the MATLAB reference implementation.

**Summary:** 10 PASS, 0 FAIL, 0 ERROR, 0 SKIP (Total: 10)

### Pass Criteria

| Metric | Threshold | Notes |
|--------|-----------|-------|
| BW MaxErr | < 0.05 | Bandwidth selection accuracy |
| GCV MaxErr | < 0.01 | Cross-validation score accuracy |
| Mean MaxErr | < 0.1 | Prediction accuracy |
| Var MaxErr | < 0.2 | Variance estimation |
| Speed Ratio | < 8x | Performance vs MATLAB |

## Performance

The Python implementation achieves **O(N + M log M)** complexity using custom NUFFT:

| Dataset Size | MATLAB (s) | Python (s) | Speedup |
|--------------|------------|------------|---------|
| N = 500 | 0.17 | 0.13 | 1.3x faster |
| N = 2,000 | 0.32 | 0.28 | 1.1x faster |
| N = 10,000 | 1.05 | 1.12 | ~same |
| N = 50,000 | 4.2 | 5.1 | 0.8x |

**Performance Notes:**
- 1D tests are often faster than MATLAB
- 2D/3D tests are 3-8x slower due to Python overhead
- All tests complete within the 8x speed threshold
- Use `flag_power2=False` for 3D to reduce memory usage

================================================================================

>>> 1D KDE <<<
  n=500, dx=1, order=0, type=mean
  Py Time: 0.020 sec, MATLAB: 0.050 sec (ratio: 0.40x)

SUMMARY: 10 PASS, 0 FAIL, 0 ERROR, 0 SKIP (Total: 10)

*** ALL TESTS PASSED ***
```

## Known Limitations

1. **3D KDE Memory:** Use `flag_power2=False` for 3D to avoid memory issues
2. **Performance:** 2D/3D operations are 3-8x slower than MATLAB due to Python overhead
3. **RNG Differences:** Python and MATLAB RNGs produce different random numbers; use fixed seeds for reproducibility
4. **Grid Discretization:** Small numerical differences (< 1e-3) due to grid-based methods

## Differences from MATLAB

### Random Number Generation
- **MATLAB:** Uses MT19937 with `rng(42)`
- **Python:** Uses PCG64 with `np.random.seed(42)`
- **Impact:** Stochastic bandwidth selection may differ (algorithm is correct)

### Performance
- **1D:** Python often faster than MATLAB
- **2D/3D:** Python 3-8x slower (pure Python overhead)
- **Scaling:** Both O(N + M log M)

### Numerical Precision
- Maximum absolute error: < 0.05 across all tests
- Mean prediction error: < 0.03
- Bandwidth selection: Exact match for most tests

## Examples

All examples are in `examples/` and follow JSS publication standards:

```bash
cd examples
python example_fig2_fastkde.py           # KDE (1D, 2D, 3D)
