Adaptive weighting for flexible estimation in nonparametric regression models.

Nosedal-Sanchez, Alvaro - 2011

We propose a new method to find spatially adaptive smoothing splines. This new method breaks down the interval [0, 1] into p disjoint sub-intervals. Then we define p functional components in [0, 1], which have two importantfeatures. First, the purpose of each of these p components is to estimate...
