Fitting Constrained Continuous Spline Curves. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Fitting a curve through a set of planar data which represents a positive quantity requires that the curve stays above the horizontal axis, The more general problem of designing parametric and non-parametric curves which do not cross the given constraint

Postpartum anemia and maternal wellbeing: A cohort analysis of the WOMAN‐2 trial

open access: yesInternational Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective We examined the association between postpartum anemia and maternal wellbeing in women who gave birth with anemia. Methods We conducted a cohort analysis using secondary data from the WOMAN‐2 trial. Between August 2019 and September 2023, women with moderate or severe anemia who were giving birth vaginally were recruited from ...

Generalized geometric cubic splines [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
A constructive approach has been adopted to build interpolatory and freeform cubic spline curves with a more general continuity than -continuity. This method provides not only a large variety of very interesting shape controls like biased, point and ...

Temperature and heat‐load exposure effects on preterm births: Insights from a population‐based study using distributed lag non‐linear models

open access: yesInternational Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Preterm birth presents a substantial health, psychological, and economic burden worldwide. Environmental factors, including temperature fluctuations, are known to influence the risk of preterm birth. This study aimed to investigate the association between high temperatures and heat load and preterm births. Methods Using a time‐series

Using Cubic Splines in Crop Insurance Models – A Replication Study

open access: yesGerman Journal of Agricultural Economics
This study replicates the work of Bucheli et al. (2022) to evaluate the reliability and generalizability of their findings on the use of cubic spline methods in weather index insurance design in Eastern Germany. The study consists of two parts: a direct

A class of C2 piecewise quintic polynomials

open access: yes, 1980
A new class of C2 piecewise quintic interpolatory polynomials is defined. It is shown that this new class contains a number of interpolatory functions which present practical advantages, when compared with the conventional cubic ...

Nonlinear Relations Between Resting Heart Rate Measures and Health Risk Behavior in Emerging Adulthood

open access: yesJournal of Adolescence, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Resting heart rate (HR) measures reflect autonomic processes that could predict health risk behavior (HRB) in emerging adulthood when risky behavior is prominent. However, prior studies and extant theories are inconsistent, such that the relationships between HR measures and HRB could be positive or negative in direction.

Segmented Regression Based on B-Splines with Solved Examples [PDF]

open access: yesStatistika: Statistics and Economy Journal, 2015
The subject of the paper is segmented linear, quadratic, and cubic regression based on B-spline basis functions. In this article we expose the formulas for the computation of B-splines of order one, two, and three that is needed to construct linear ...
