Items related to Smoothing Spline ANOVA Models (Springer Series in Statistics...
Smoothing methods are an active area of research. In this book, the author presents a comprehensive treatment of penalty smoothing under a unified framework. Methods are developed for (i) regression with Gaussian and non-Gaussian responses as well as with censored life time data; (ii) density and conditional density estimation under a variety of sampling schemes; and (iii) hazard rate estimation with censored life time data and covariates. Extensive discussions are devoted to model construction, smoothing parameter selection, computation, and asymptotic convergence. Most of the computational and data analytical tools discussed in the book are implemented in R, an open-source clone of the popular S/S- PLUS language.

Review:
From the reviews: TECHNOMETRICS "The book is well organized in eight clearly written chapters, each of which includes a closing section with useful bibliographic notes and problems for the reader...[This book] is recommended for a range of audiences. Researchers of smoothing methods with roughness penalties will likely appreciate this book...Sophisticated practitioners may look to the book’s examples for modeling ideas and guidance. Instructors of advanced graduate-level statistical modeling courses may want to consider the book as a textbook. Also, instructors in a RKHS-oriented functional analysis course may find the book a valuable reference for applications." SHORT BOOK REVIEWS "This is the only book available now written exclusively on the method of smoothing spline ANOVA, a newly-developed and broadly applicable approach to nonparametric functional estimation problems. The author is one of the few main contributors to the development of this field." "This book presents a comprehensive treatment of penalized likelihood smoothing under a unified framework. A broad variety of models with ANOVA decompositions is covered for regression, density and hazard rate estimation. ... I particularly like the case studies a lot, which allow the reader to see the methods work in practice ... . I consider the book to be a good reference for researchers interested in spline smoothing in a general context as it ... gives many bibliographic notes for further reading." (R. Fried, Metrika, February, 2004) "The book is well organized in eight clearly written chapters, each of which includes a closing section with useful bibliographic notes and problems for the reader. ...

(Michael Frey, Technometrics, Vol. 45 (3), August, 2003) "This book is a systematic presentation of function estimation on generic domains using the penalized likelihood method. ... The bibliographic notes given at the end of each chapter present a good overview of the material contained therein. Most of the computational work is implemented in software which is user-friendly and is available free from the various web sites." (Girdhar G. Agarwal, Mathematical Reviews, 2003 d)
From the Back Cover:
Nonparametric function estimation with stochastic data, otherwise
known as smoothing, has been studied by several generations of
statisticians. Assisted by the ample computing power in today's
servers, desktops, and laptops, smoothing methods have been finding
their ways into everyday data analysis by practitioners. While scores
of methods have proved successful for univariate smoothing, ones
practical in multivariate settings number far less. Smoothing spline
ANOVA models are a versatile family of smoothing methods derived
through roughness penalties, that are suitable for both univariate and
multivariate problems.
In this book, the author presents a treatise on penalty smoothing
under a unified framework. Methods are developed for (i) regression
with Gaussian and non-Gaussian responses as well as with censored lifetime data; (ii) density and conditional density estimation under a
variety of sampling schemes; and (iii) hazard rate estimation with
censored life time data and covariates. The unifying themes are the
general penalized likelihood method and the construction of
multivariate models with built-in ANOVA decompositions. Extensive
discussions are devoted to model construction, smoothing parameter
selection, computation, and asymptotic convergence.
