A Suite of R Functions Implementing Spline Smoothing Techniques

v3.1.9 · Aug 22, 2023 · GPL-2

Description

Fit various smoothing spline models. Includes an ssr() function for smoothing spline regression, an nnr() function for nonparametric nonlinear regression, an snr() function for semiparametric nonlinear regression, an slm() function for semiparametric linear mixed-effects models, and an snm() function for semiparametric nonlinear mixed-effects models. See Wang (2011) <doi:10.1201/b10954> for an overview.
