Samee Zahur commented on MAHOUT-24:
-----------------------------------

I think I am now a bit confused about the nips paper. Correct me if I am wrong 
here, but it does seem like the paper describes a system where there is only 
one input variable x and only one output y. There, x[i] seems to represent 
various input values and y[i] the observed output at those values. If that is 
the case, my code above works perfectly. There, I have provided just one input 
variable and multiple output variable for each point.

If, however, we want the number of input variables to increase, I'll need to 
invert a symmetric d x d matrix where d is the number of input variables (or 
input vector dimension). I could use any algorithm at all, but most seem to use 
O(d^3) time which scale pretty badly. Any ideas?

> This is a very skeletal but functional implementation for LWLR. It outputs n 
> lines where n is the number of dimensions. ith line = sum(x[i]*x[ind]) where 
> ind is the index of independant variable. So the actual gradient = 2nd 
> line/1st line for the classical 2D.
> Contains a single small test case for demonstration.
