The model based approach to smoothing Mazzi, Sonia V.T.
Abstract
Nonparametric regression methods are devised in order to obtain a smooth fit of a regression curve without having to specify a parametric model. This, in principle, provides a flexible approach to curve estimation. It is shown how splines are not such a flexible tool for smoothing. It is proposed to use the modern approach of state space modeling instead, to solve a variety of smoothing problems. This model based approach alleviates estimation and computational problems as well as provides insightful solutions to smoothing problems.
