The data $(y_i,x_i)\in$ $\textbf{R}\times[a,b]$, $i=1,\ldots,n$ satisfy $y_i=s(x_i)+e_i$ where $s$ belongs to the set of cubic splines. The unknown noises $(e_i)$ are such that $var(e_I)=1$ for some $I\in \{1, \ldots, n\}$ and…
Smoothing splines have been used pervasively in nonparametric regressions. However, the computational burden of smoothing splines is significant when the sample size $n$ is large. When the number of predictors $d\geq2$, the computational…
Spatio-temporal receptive field (STRF) models are frequently used to approximate the computation implemented by a sensory neuron. Typically, such STRFs are assumed to be smooth and sparse. Current state-of-the-art approaches for estimating…
In this paper, we consider $C^1$ cubic Powell-Sabin splines for the numerical solution of boundary value problems on planar and spatial surface domains. We first review the construction and basic properties of polynomial and rational $C^1$…
A comprehensive methodology is provided for smoothing noisy, irregularly sampled data with non-Gaussian noise using smoothing splines. We demonstrate how the spline order and tension parameter can be chosen a priori from physical reasoning.…
Linear functions of many independent random variables lead to classical noises (white, Poisson, and their combinations) in the scaling limit. Some singular stochastic flows and some models of oriented percolation involve very nonlinear…
The space of $C^1$ cubic Clough-Tocher splines is a classical finite element approximation space over triangulations for solving partial differential equations. However, for such a space there is no B-spline basis available, which is a…
In this paper, we investigate $C^2$ super-smoothness of the full $C^1$ cubic spline space on a Powell-Sabin refined triangulation, for which a B-spline basis can be constructed. Blossoming is used to identify the $C^2$ smoothness conditions…
We construct a family of monotone and convex $C^1$ integro cubic splines under a strictly convex position of the dataset. Then, we find an optimal spline by considering its approximation properties. Finally, we give some examples to…
Smoothing of noisy sample covariances is an important component in functional data analysis. We propose a novel covariance smoothing method based on penalized splines and associated software. The proposed method is a bivariate spline…
We compare a recently proposed multivariate spline based on mixed partial derivatives with two other standard splines for the scattered data smoothing problem. The splines are defined as the minimiser of a penalised least squares…
The problem of monotone smoothing splines with bounds is formulated as a constrained minimization problem of the calculus of variations. Existence and uniqueness of solutions of this problem is proved, as well as the equivalence of it to a…
We consider model selection and estimation for partial spline models and propose a new regularization method in the context of smoothing splines. The regularization method has a simple yet elegant form, consisting of roughness penalty on…
The paper is concerned with three types of cubic splines over a triangulation that are characterized by three degrees of freedom associated with each vertex of the triangulation. The splines differ in computational complexity, polynomial…
Regression splines are smooth, flexible, and parsimonious nonparametric function estimators. They are known to be sensitive to knot number and placement, but if assumptions such as monotonicity or convexity may be imposed on the regression…
In this paper we develop and study adaptive empirical Bayesian smoothing splines. These are smoothing splines with both smoothing parameter and penalty order determined via the empirical Bayes method from the marginal likelihood of the…
We extend nonparametric regression smoothing splines to a context where there is endogeneity and instrumental variables are available. Unlike popular existing estimators, the resulting estimator is one-step and relies on a unique…
A number of recent works have proposed to solve the line spectral estimation problem by applying off-the-grid extensions of sparse estimation techniques. These methods are preferable over classical line spectral estimation algorithms…
We consider the problem of approximating smoothing spline estimators in a nonparametric regression model. When applied to a sample of size $n$, the smoothing spline estimator can be expressed as a linear combination of $n$ basis functions,…
Building upon the concepts and mechanisms used for the development in Moving Points Algorithm, we will now explore how non linear decision boundaries can be developed for classification tasks. First we will look at the classification…
