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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yuedong Wang\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1420077554\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781420077551\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 394\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.30w x 1.00d","brand":"Yuedong Wang","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47424361365759,"sku":"9781420077551","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_699b43c7-6c0f-4cba-9bac-b63e1b29c02a.jpg?v=1761529778","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/smoothing-splines-yuedong-wang-9781420077551","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
