- In some fields, LOESS is known and commonly referred to as Savitzky–Golay filter.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Local regression article was read about 58,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 72 and blocks with 53: each hit it takes is cut by 21 %.
