Robust Smoothing: Smoothing Parameter Selection and Applications to Fluorescence Spectroscopy. [PDF]
Fluorescence spectroscopy has emerged in recent years as an effective way to detect cervical cancer. Investigation of the data preprocessing stage uncovered a need for a robust smoothing to extract the signal from the noise. We compare various robust smoothing methods for estimating fluorescence emission spectra and data driven methods for the ...

Smoothing parameter and model selection for general smooth models (with discussion) [PDF]
This paper discusses a general framework for smoothing parameter estimation for models with regular likelihoods constructed in terms of unknown smooth functions of covariates. Gaussian random effects and parametric terms may also be present.

Targeted smoothing parameter selection for estimating average causal effects [PDF]
The non-parametric estimation of average causal effects in observational studies often relies on controlling for confounding covariates through smoothing regression methods such as kernel, splines or local polynomial regression.

A hybrid simple exponential smoothing-barnacles mating optimization approach for parameter estimation: Enhancing COVID-19 forecasting in Malaysia [PDF]
Single or simple exponential smoothing (SES) is a time series forecasting model popular among researchers due to its simplicity and ease of use. SES only requires one smoothing parameter, alpha, to control how quickly the influence of past observations ...

HISAPS: High-order smoothing spline with automatic parameter selection and shape constraints
Obtaining a good functional fit with noisy data is difficult. This is especially true when the derivative of the fitted function is needed, which is often the case in engineering applications. One solution is to use smoothing splines.

Smoothing parameter selection in Nadaraya-Watson kernel nonparametric regression using nature-inspired algorithm optimization [PDF]
In the context of Nadaraya-Watson kernel nonparametric regression, the curve estimation is fully depending on the smoothing parameter. At this point, the nature-inspired algorithms can be used as an alternative tool to find the optimal selection. In this

Choice of Smoothing Parameter for Kernel Type Ridge Estimators in Semiparametric Regression Models
This paper concerns kernel-type ridge estimators of parameters in a semiparametric model. These estimators are a generalization of the well-known Speckman’s approach based on kernel smoothing method. The most important factor in achieving this smoothing
