Milk yield records (305d, 2X, actual milk yield) of 123,639 registered first lactation Holstein cows were used to compare linear regression (y = β(0) + β(1)X + e), quadratic regression, (y = β(0) + β(1)X + β(2)X(2) + e) cubic regression (y = β(0) + β(1)X + β(2)X(2) + β(3)X(3) +e) and fixed factor models, with cubic-spline interpolation models, for estimating the effects of inbreeding on milk yi...

Linear interpolation has been adapted in many signal and image processing applications due to its simple implementation and low computational cost. In standard linear interpolation the kernel is the second order B-spline   2 β t . In this work we show that the interpolation error can be remarkably diminished by using the time-shifted B-spline   2 β t Δ as an interpolation kernel. We verify ...

Geometric modelling of several intricate and complex structures such as trees, mountains, clouds, ferns, geographic topography, coastlines is challenging in computer graphics. Traditional splines astrigonometric, polynomial, exponential, rational fail to simulate this significant class structures, which are highly irregular nature. For purpose, research develops a novel cutting-edgemethod for s...
