Smoothing Spline Growth Curves with Covariates
We adapt the interactive spline model of Wahba to growth curves with covariates. The smoothing spline formulation permits a nonparametric representation of the growth curves. In the limit when the discretization error is small relative to the estimation error, the resulting growth curve estimates often depend only weakly on the number and locations of the knots. The smoothness parameter is dete...
متن کاملOptimal Smoothing Spline Curves and Contour Synthesis
We consider a problem of designing optimal smoothing spline curves using normalized uniform B-splines as basis functions. Assuming that the data for smoothing is obtained by sampling some curve with noises, an expression for optimal curves is derived when the number of data becomes infinity. It is then shown that, under certain condition, optimal smoothing splines converge to this curve as the ...
متن کاملEstimating curves and derivatives with parametric penalized spline smoothing
Accurate estimation of an underlying function and its derivatives is one of the central problems in statistics. Parametric forms are often proposed based on the expert opinion or prior knowledge of the underlying function. However, these strict parametric assumptions may result in biased estimates when they are not completely accurate. Meanwhile, nonparametric smoothing methods, which do not im...
متن کاملSmoothing Spline Curves and Surfaces for Sampled Data
We consider the problem of designing optimal smoothing spline curves and surfaces for a given set of discrete data. For constructing curves and surfaces, we employ normalized uniform B-splines as the basis functions. First we derive concise expressions for the optimal solutions in the form which can be used easily for numerical computations as well as mathematical analyses. Then, assuming that ...
