Increased importance is being placed on statistics at both the K-12 and undergraduate level. Research divulging effective methods to teach specific statistical concepts is still widely sought after. In this paper, we focus on best practices for teaching topics in nonparametric statistics at the undergraduate level. To motivate the work, we…

A family of integrals over infinite intervals appears frequently in the statistical literature on non-parametric regression. This note presents two simple transform methods, based on beta function and Parseval identity, to explicitly evaluate these integrals. These methods will benefit researchers and practitioners working in non-parametric…
