Kernel Density Estimation (KDE)© uses the Ball Tree or KD Tree
algorithms for efficient queries, and combines concepts from unsupervised learning, feature
engineering, and data modeling. Neighbor-based approaches such as KDE are some of the most popular
and useful density estimation techniques. The KDE Modeling and KDE Simulation nodes in SPSS Modeler
expose the core features and commonly used parameters of the KDE library. The nodes are implemented
in Python.
