I’m considering playing around with Locally Weighted Projection Regression (LWPR), and I was curious if anyone was aware of any Julia implementations of the algorithm (Google, alas, is not).
I’m aware of [SLMC | InfWeb](http://wcms.inf.ed.ac.uk/ipab/slmc/research/software-lwpr) (C implementation with Python bindings) and might consider using it through PyCall, but this seems like a great opportunity for a nice Julia implementation. Perhaps I’ll just have to write one 😉

Dear @rdeits , long shot, but have you perhaps have found anything better since then? I’m also considering of writing my own LWPR in Julia 😉

In complement to LWPR, you may be interested by LWPLSR that is also presented in [Schaal et al. 2002](https://doi.org/10.1023/A:1015727715131): an implementation (with a faster PLS algorithm than the Nipals used in Schaal et al.) is given [here](https://github.com/mlesnoff/Jchemo.jl) (function [lwplsr](https://mlesnoff.github.io/Jchemo.jl/stable/api/#Jchemo.lwplsr-Tuple%7BAny,%20Any%7D)), allowing KNN-LWPSR that is useful for large datasets.
