Robust Smoothing: Smoothing Parameter Selection and Applications to Fluorescence Spectroscopy. [PDF]

open access: yesComput Stat Data Anal, 2010
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]

open access: yesJournal of the American Statistical Association, 2016
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]

open access: yesComputational Statistics, 2013
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]

open access: yesMethodsX
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

open access: yesSoftwareX
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]

open access: yesالمجلة العراقية للعلوم الاحصائية, 2020
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

open access: yesRevstat Statistical Journal, 2021
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

Cross-Validation, Information Theory, or Maximum Likelihood? A Comparison of Tuning Methods for Penalized Splines

open access: yesStats, 2021
Functional data analysis techniques, such as penalized splines, have become common tools used in a variety of applied research settings. Penalized spline estimators are frequently used in applied research to estimate unknown functions from noisy data ...

A Comparison of the Smoothing Constant Values Among Exponential Smoothing Methods in Commodity Prices Forecasting

open access: yesJurnal RESTI (Rekayasa Sistem dan Teknologi Informasi), 2022
Commodity prices forecasting is one of the business functions to estimate future demand based on past data trend. This study aims to implement a trial and error technique of the constant (alpha α) value in the exponential smoothing method.
