Polynomial Spline Confidence Bands for Regression Curves
نویسندگان
چکیده
Asymptotically exact and conservative confidence bands are obtained for a nonparametric regression function, using piecewise constant and piecewise linear spline estimation, respectively. Compared to the pointwise confidence interval of Huang (2003), the confidence bands are inflated by a factor proportional to {log (n)}, with the same width order as the Nadaraya-Watson bands of Härdle (1989), and the local polynomial bands of Xia (1998) and Claeskens and Van Keilegom (2003). Simulation experiments corroborate the asymptotic theory. The linear spline band has been used to identify an appropriate polynomial trend for fossil data.

Spline Confidence Bands for Functional Derivatives.
We develop in this paper a new procedure to construct simultaneous confidence bands for derivatives of mean curves in functional data analysis. The technique involves polynomial splines that provide an approximation to the derivatives of the mean functions, the covariance functions and the associated eigenfunctions. We show that the proposed procedure has desirable statistical properties. In pa...
متن کاملPolynomial spline confidence bands for time series trend
The paper considers the construction of a confidence band for the trend function of a stationary time series. An explicit formula is derived based on polynomial splines and Sunklodas (1984). The performance of the confidence band is illustrated by simulation studies. The proposed method is applied to the analysis of the annual yields of wheat in the United States. & 2012 Elsevier B.V.

متن کاملCubic Spline Regression for the Open-Circuit Potential Curves of a Lithium-Ion Battery
A cubic spline regression model was used to fit the experimental open-circuit potential ~OCP! curves of two intercalation electrodes of a lithium-ion battery. All the details of an OCP curve were accurately predicted by the resulting model. The number of regression intervals used to fit an OCP curve was determined in a way such that in each regression interval the OCP exhibits a profile predict...

We consider nonparametric estimation of coefficient functions in a varying coefficient model of the form Yij = X T i (tij)β(tij)+ i(tij) based on longitudinal observations {(Yij ,Xi(tij), tij), i = 1, . . . , n, j = 1, . . . , ni}, where tij and ni are the time of the jth measurement and the number of repeated measurements for the ith subject, and Yij and Xi(tij) = (Xi0(tij), . . . ,XiL(tij)) T...
متن کاملConfidence Band for Additive Regression Model
Additive model has been widely recognized as an effective tool for dimension reduction. Existing methods for estimation of additive regression function, including backfitting, marginal integration, projection and spline methods, do not provide any level of uniform confidence. In this paper we propose a simple construction of confidence band for the additive regression function which is based on...
