tL- 1379- M Nonparametric regression methods can provide nonparametric modeling, guidance in selection of parametric models and diagnostic tools. This is particularly important for binary regression due to the lack of simple graphical tools for data exploration. In this article, we discuss the application of local polynomial regression to the binary re gression problem. We show that local polynomial regression is consistent, and is a simpler al ternative to generalized smooth models. Bandwidth selection for good small sample perfor mance remains problematic. We show by simulation that methods such as cross-validation and "plug-in" estimators, which perform well for continuous response, do poorly for binary data. However, bootstrap bandwidth selection, although very computer-intensive, appears to work well for binary response.
