Smoothing with Cubic Splines
A spline function is a curve constructed from polynomial segments that are subject to conditions or continuity at their joints. In this paper, we shall present the algorithm of the cubic smoothing spline and we shall justify its use in estimating trends in time series. Considerable effort has been devoted over several decades to developing the mathematics of spline functions. Much of the intere...
متن کاملConstrained Interpolation via Cubic Hermite Splines
Introduction In industrial designing and manufacturing, it is often required to generate a smooth function approximating a given set of data which preserves certain shape properties of the data such as positivity, monotonicity, or convexity, that is, a smooth shape preserving approximation. It is assumed here that the data is sufficiently accurate to warrant interpolation, rather than least ...
متن کاملModeling segmental duration with multivariate adaptive regression splines
The application of “Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines”(MARS) to the problem of modeling duration of a set of segments used in a text-to-speech system for German is presented. MARS is a technique to estimate general functions of high-dimensional arguments given sparse data. It automatically selects the parameters and the structure of the model based on data available. The result is a mode...
متن کاملESTIMATING DRYING SHRINKAGE OF CONCRETE USING A MULTIVARIATE ADAPTIVE REGRESSION SPLINES APPROACH
In the present study, the multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS) technique is employed to estimate the drying shrinkage of concrete. To this purpose, a very big database (RILEM Data Bank) from different experimental studies is used. Several effective parameters such as the age of onset of shrinkage measurement, age at start of drying, the ratio of the volume of the sample on its drying...
متن کاملLeast squares cubic splines without B-splines
There are thousands of articles published on variants of splines, including least squares cubic splines. One of the first least squares articles was de Boor and Rice [1], and a comprehensive explanatory textbook is Dierckx [2]. Unfortunately, every example in the literature and on the web of a least squares cubic spline makes use of B-splines. While B-splines have a certain elegance, they are s...
