Splines, Knots, and Penalties
Penalized splines have gained much popularity as a flexible tool for smoothing and semi-parametric models. Two approaches have been advocated: 1) use a B-spline basis, equally-spaced knots and difference penalties (Eilers and Marx, 1996) and 2) use truncated power functions, knots based on quantiles of the independent variable and a ridge penalty (Ruppert, Wand and Carroll, 2003). We compare th...
متن کاملGood approximation by splines with variable knots
Here, t1, . . . , tN are the knots or joints of s ∈ S k π, and their multiplicity, i.e., equality among two or more of these, indicates reduced smoothness at that knot location in the usual way. Best approximation to f by elements of S π is quite well understood for a variety of norms since, after all, S π is a linear space. It seems practically more important and theoretically more interesting...
متن کاملOn monotone and convex approximation by splines with free knots
We prove that the degree of shape preserving free knot spline approximation in L p a; b], 0 < p 1 is essentially the same as that of the non-constrained case. This is in sharp contrast to the well known phenomenon we have in shape preserving approximation by splines with equidistant knots and by polynomials. The results obtained are valid both for piecewise polynomials and for smooth splines wi...
متن کاملAdaptive Bayesian Procedures Using Random Series Priors
We consider a general class of prior distributions for nonparametric Bayesian estimation which uses finite random series with a random number of terms. A prior is constructed through distributions on the number of basis functions and the associated coefficients. We derive a general result on adaptive posterior contraction rates for all smoothness levels of the target function in the true model ...
متن کاملRandom Projections with Bayesian Priors
The technique of random projection is one of dimension reduction, where high dimensional vectors in RD are projected down to a smaller subspace in Rk. Certain forms of distances or distance kernels such as Euclidean distances, inner products [10], and lp distances [12] between high dimensional vectors are approximately preserved in this smaller dimensional subspace. Word vectors which are repre...
