On Semiparametric Regression with O'sullivan Penalized Splines
نویسندگان
چکیده
An exposition on the use of O’Sullivan penalized splines in contemporary semiparametric regression, including mixed model and Bayesian formulations, is presented. O’Sullivan penalized splines are similar to P-splines, but have the advantage of being a direct generalization of smoothing splines. Exact expressions for the O’Sullivan penalty matrix are obtained. Comparisons between the two types of splines reveal that O’Sullivan penalized splines more closely mimic the natural boundary behaviour of smoothing splines. Implementation in modern computing environments such as MATLAB, R and BUGS is discussed.

Marginal longitudinal semiparametric regression via penalized splines.
We study the marginal longitudinal nonparametric regression problem and some of its semiparametric extensions. We point out that, while several elaborate proposals for efficient estimation have been proposed, a relative simple and straightforward one, based on penalized splines, has not. After describing our approach, we then explain how Gibbs sampling and the BUGS software can be used to achie...
متن کاملSemiparametric regression during 2003-2007.
Semiparametric regression is a fusion between parametric regression and nonparametric regression that integrates low-rank penalized splines, mixed model and hierarchical Bayesian methodology - thus allowing more streamlined handling of longitudinal and spatial correlation. We review progress in the field over the five-year period between 2003 and 2007. We find semiparametric regression to be a ...
متن کاملSemiparametric Stepwise Regression to Estimate Sales Promotion Effects
Kalyanam and Shively (1998) and van Heerde et al. (2001) have proposed semiparametric models to estimate the influence of price promotions on brand sales, and both obtained superior performance for their models compared to strictly parametric modeling. Following these researchers, we suggest another semiparametric framework which is based on penalized B-splines to analyze sales promotion effect...
متن کاملMaximum penalized likelihood estimation in semiparametric capture-recapture models
We consider a semiparametric modeling approach for capture-recapture-recovery data where the temporal and/or individual variation of model parameters – usually the demographic parameters – is explained via covariates. Typically, in such analyses a fixed (or mixed) effects parametric model is specified for the relationship between the model parameters and the covariates of interest. In this pape...
متن کاملSemiparametric Mixed Models for Nested Repeated Measures Applied to Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring Data.
Semiparametric mixed models are increasingly popular for statistical analysis of medical device studies in which long sequences of repeated measurements are recorded. Monitoring these sequences at different periods over time on the same individual, such as before and after an intervention, results in nested repeated measures (NRM). Covariance models to account for NRM and simultaneously address...
