A note on averaging prediction accuracy, Green's functions and other kernels
share
We present the mathematical context of the predictive accuracy index and then introduce the definition of integral average transform. We establish the relation of our definition with two variables kernels K( y, x). As an example of an application we show that integrating against the fundamental solution of the Laplace operator, that is, solving the Poisson equation, can be re-interpreted as an integral of averages of the forcing term over balls. As a result, we obtained a novel integral representation of the solution of the Poisson equation. Our motivation comes from the need for a better mathematical understanding of the prediction accuracy index. This index is used to identify hot spots in predictive security and other applications.
