Beschreibung:
This is the second volume of a text on the theory and practice of maximum penalized likelihood estimation. It is intended for graduate students in statistics, operations research and applied mathematics, as well as for researchers and practitioners in the field. The present volume deals with nonparametric regression.
"Unique blend of asymptotic theory and small sample practice through simulation experiments and data analysis.Novel reproducing kernel Hilbert space methods for the analysis of smoothing splines and local polynomials. Leading to uniform error bounds and honest confidence bands for the mean function using smoothing splinesExhaustive exposition of algorithms, including the Kalman filter, for the computation of smoothing splines of arbitrary order."
