Approximation by Smooth Multivariate Splines [PDF]

Transactions of the American Mathematical Society, 1983
The degree of approximation achievable by piecewise polynomial functions of given total order on certain regular grids in the plane is shown to be adversely affected by smoothness requirements—in stark contrast to the univariate situation. For a rectangular grid, and for the triangular grid derived from it by adding all northeast diagonals, the maximum

Accounting for animal health in efficiency analysis: An application to Swedish dairy farms

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Poor animal health is a central concern in modern livestock production. Despite the necessity to incorporate animal health in efficiency analysis, the theoretical and empirical developments are limited on this subject. This article appropriately characterizes the axiomatic properties of animal health within a production framework.

Asymptotics for penalized additive B-spline regression [PDF]

, 2011
This paper is concerned with asymptotic theory for penalized spline estimator in bivariate additive model. The focus of this paper is put upon the penalized spline estimator obtained by the backfitting algorithm.

Functional models from limited data: A parametric and multimodal approach to anatomy and 3D kinematics of feeding in basking sharks (Cetorhinus maximus)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Basking sharks, Cetorhinus maximus (Gunnerus, Brugden [Squalus maximus], Det Kongelige Norske Videnskabers Selskabs Skrifter, 1765, vol. 3, pp. 33–49), feed by gaping their mouths and gill slits, greatly reorienting their cranial skeletons to filter food from water.

Challenges and Opportunities in Multi‐Method Integrated Geophysical Prospection of Buried Building Remains at the Sanctuary of Olympia

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ancient Olympia was one of the most important sanctuaries and the venue for the Olympic Games in Greek and Roman times. Its remains are located in the Olympia Terrace (Peloponnese, Greece) at the present‐day confluence of the rivers Alpheios and Kladeos at the base of Mount Kronos.

Influence of Zn2+ and Oxygen Supply on Malic Acid Production and Growth of Aspergillus oryzae

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Malic acid is a valuable platform chemical traditionally derived from fossil‐based resources. Microbial cultivation with Aspergillus oryzae offers a sustainable alternative based on renewable feedstocks. In this study, a well‐established minimal medium for malic acid production, commonly used in previous research to ensure reproducibility, was

Direct Determination of Smoothing Parameter for Penalized Spline Regression

Journal of Probability and Statistics, 2014
Penalized spline estimator is one of the useful smoothing methods. To construct the estimator, having goodness of fit and smoothness, the smoothing parameter should be appropriately selected. The purpose of this paper is to select the smoothing parameter

Spline Semiparametric Regression Models

Journal of Kufa for Mathematics and Computer, 2015
In this paper, we study semiparametric regression models with spline smoothing, and determining the numbers of knots and their locations by using some statistical criteria, a simulation model has been performed.

On the Prediction of pDNA Productivity Across Diverse Bioprocesses Using Ensemble Hybrid Models

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global demand for plasmid DNA (pDNA) is rapidly increasing due to its key role in the manufacture of mRNA vaccines and advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs). However, the reliance on suboptimal batch and/or fed‐batch processes, as well as the diversity and increasing complexity of plasmid constructs pose significant challenges during

Spline-backfitted kernel smoothing of nonlinear additive autoregression model

, 2006
Application of nonparametric and semiparametric regression techniques to high-dimensional time series data has been hampered due to the lack of effective tools to address the ``curse of dimensionality.'' Under rather weak conditions, we propose spline ...
