To overcome boundary problems with wavelet regression, we propose a simple method that reduces bias at the boundaries.It is based on a combination of wavelet functions and low-order polynomials. The utility of the method is illustrated with simulation studies and a real example. Asymptotic results show that the estimators are competitive with other nonparametric procedures.
