Most feedforward neural networks do nonlinear regression.

GRNN is a neologism for kernel regression. See:

   Haerdle, W. (1990), _Applied Nonparametric Regression_, Cambridge
   Univ. Press.

   Nadaraya, E.A. (1964) "On estimating regression", Theory Probab.
   Applic. 10, 186-90.

   Watson, G.S. (1964) "Smooth regression analysis", Sankhy{\=a},
   Series A, 26, 359-72.
