Shape-Restricted Regression Splines with R Package splines2

Splines are important tools for the flexible modeling of curves and surfaces in regression analyses. Functions constructing spline basis functions available R through base package splines. When to be modeled have known characteristics monotonicity or curvature, more efficient statistical inferences possible with shape-restricted Such splines, however, not The splines2 provides easy-to-use functions, along their derivatives integrals which many inference scenarios. It also additional splines features that package, such as periodic generalized Bernstein polynomials. usages illustrated regression, recurrent event data analysis, extreme-value copulas.
