Abstract

A number of socio-economic factors influence broadband diffusion and are assumed to be responsible for the different levels of adoption among countries. Most of the approaches met in literature do not take into account the different stages of the diffusion process and they are parametric. They are based on the construction and study of econometric models, which include all the influential parameters. Regression functions are defined prior to the analysis and they are usually linear in nature. However, this increases the complexity of the system, since the less influential variables are derived during the final stages of the analysis. On the contrary, non‐parametric methods can achieve dimension reduction during the early stages, while they do not require a definition of the regression function.
