It also presents methods for model selection and inference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book provides unified frameworks for estimation, inference, and software implementation by using the general forms of nonparametric\/semiparametric, linear\/nonlinear, and fixed\/mixed smoothing spline models. The theory of reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) is used to present various smoothing spline models in a unified fashion. Although this approach can be technical and difficult, the author makes the advanced smoothing spline methodology based on RKHS accessible to practitioners and students. He offers a gentle introduction to RKHS, keeps theory at a minimum level, and explains how RKHS can be used to construct spline models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSmoothing Splines\u003c\/strong\u003e offers a balanced mix of methodology, computation, implementation, software, and applications. It uses R to perform all data analyses and includes a host of real data examples from astronomy, economics, medicine, and meteorology. The codes for all examples, along with related developments, can be found on the book's web page.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45235495043223,"sku":"9781420077551","price":12987.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781420077551.webp?v=1769209885","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/smoothing-splines-methods-and-applications-9781420077551","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
