    • QUOTE: Model-based methods, such as neural networks and the mixture of Gaussians, use the data to build a parameterized model. After training, the model is used for predictions and the data are generally discarded. In contrast, "memory-based" methods are non-parametric approaches that explicitly retain the training data, and use it each time a prediction needs to be made. Locally weighted regression (LWR) is a memory-based method that performs a regression around a point of interest using only training data that are “local to that point. One recent study demonstrated that LWR was suitable for real-time control by constructing an LWR-based system that learned a difficult juggling task [Schaal & Atkeson 1994]. ...
