{"product_id":"9781420077551","title":"Smoothing Splines : Methods and Applications (Chapman \u0026 Hall\/crc Monographs on Statistics and Applied Probability)","description":"\u003cp\u003eA general class of powerful and flexible modeling techniques, spline smoothing has attracted a great deal of research attention in recent years and has been widely used in many application areas, from medicine to economics. Smoothing Splines: Methods and Applications covers basic smoothing spline models, including polynomial, periodic, spherical, thin-plate, L-, and partial splines, as well as more advanced models, such as smoothing spline ANOVA, extended and generalized smoothing spline ANOVA, vector spline, nonparametric nonlinear regression, semiparametric regression, and semiparametric mixed-effects models. It also presents methods for model selection and inference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\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\n\n\u003cp\u003eSmoothing Splines 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":"Chapman \u0026 Hall\/CRC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48771345907947,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":428.48,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781420077551-1.jpg?v=1781678696","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/zh\/products\/9781420077551","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
