A fast and stable algorithm for estimating multidimensional adaptive P-spline models is presented. We call it as Separation of Overlapping Penalties (SOP) as it is an extension of the \textit{Separation of Anisotropic Penalties} (SAP)…

Science and engineering problems subject to uncertainty are frequently both computationally expensive and feature nonsmooth parameter dependence, making standard Monte Carlo too slow, and excluding efficient use of accelerated uncertainty…
