Asymptotic Integrated Mean Square Error Using Least Squares and Bias Minimizing Splines
最小二乘与偏差最小化样条的渐近积分均方误差
Let $S^d_k$ be the set of $d$th order splines on $\lbrack 0, 1 \rbrack$ having $k$ knots $\xi_1 < \xi_2 \cdots < \xi_k$. We consider the estimation of a sufficiently smooth response function $g$, using $n$ uncorrelated observations, by an element $s$ of $S^d_k$. For large $n$ and $k$ we have discussed the asymptotic behavior of the integrated mean square error (IMSE) for two types of estimators: (i) the least squares estimator and (ii) a bias minimizing estimator.
