Semi-Parametric Joint Modeling of Survival and Longitudinal Data: The R Package JSM
This paper is devoted to the R package JSM which performs joint statistical modeling of survival and longitudinal data. In biomedical studies it has been increasingly common to collect both baseline and longitudinal covariates along with a possibly ...

A Higher Order B-Splines 1-D Finite Element Analysis of Lossy Dispersive Inhomogeneous Planar Layers [PDF]
In this paper we propose an accurate and fast numerical method to obtain scattering fields from lossy dispersive inhomogeneous planar layers for both TE and TM polarizations. A new method is introduced to analyze lossy Inhomogeneous Planar Layers.

Background: High-dimensional parametric models with penalized likelihood functions strike a good balance between bias and variance for estimating continuous age schedules from large samples. The penalized spline (P-spline) approach is particularly useful

Boosting Additive Models using Component-wise P-Splines [PDF]
We consider an efficient approximation of Bühlmann & Yu’s L2Boosting algorithm with component-wise smoothing splines. Smoothing spline base-learners are replaced by P-spline base-learners which yield similar prediction errors but are more advantageous ...

We propose a method for optimizing the geometry of a freeform lens to redirect the light emitted from an extended source into a desired irradiance distribution.

FREE DEFORMATION OF MULTIRESOLUTION B-SPLINES CURVES
When a point oí the curve is dragged to another position, a local curve segment ís affected, whose size could be determined by propagating the deformation on lower resolution of the curve in multiresolution representation.

Visual Flight Rules-Based Collision Avoidance Systems for UAV Flying in Civil Aerospace
The operation of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in civil airspace is restricted by the aviation authorities, which require full compliance with regulations that apply for manned aircraft.

Monotonic regression based on Bayesian P-splines: an application to estimating price response functions from store-level scanner data [PDF]
Generalized additive models have become a widely used instrument for flexible regression analysis. In many practical situations, however, it is desirable to restrict the flexibility of nonparametric estimation in order to accommodate a presumed monotonic

Kernel B-splines and interpolation
Kernel B-splines comprise a more general approach to radial basis function interpolation, in that the more specific radial basis functions are replaced by positive definite kernels or conditionally positive kernels. In this paper, differences are applied to the conditionally positive definite kernels in order that they decay (more quickly) and that the

We consider a problem of trajectory planning for road-like path on the two-dimensional plane. As the basic tool for constructing trajectories, we employ smoothing splines using normalized uniform B-splines as the basis functions.
