Abstract: Local density estimation methods suffer severe bias near the support boundaries due to the well-known estimated density overflow problem. Because of its practical occurrence, the counterpart of such phenomenon in regression assumes strong relevance, too. The so-called reflection method appears to be an efficient way to alleviate this issue. Simple domain transformations could favor an elegant application of such a principle.
