'The book provides a rather complete unified treatment of smoothing splines, starting with the classical polynomial smoothing spline, and including the periodic smoothing spline on a circle, both scalar and vector-valued splines on the sphere, and thin plate splines in the plane and in higher dimensional Euclidean spaces. In addition, it treats two special kinds of smoothing splines called partial splines and additive splines. The splines discussed here have numerous practical applications in data fitting of economical, medical, meteorological, and radiation data.

Synopsis
Peovides an introduction into the more theoretical aspects of the use of spline models. This book develops a theory and practice for the estimation of functions from noisy data on functionals., This book serves well as an introduction into the more theoretical aspects of the use of spline models. It develops a theory and practice for the estimation of functions from noisy data on functionals. The simplest example is the estimation of a smooth curve, given noisy observations on a finite number of its values. The estimate is a polynomial smoothing spline. By placing this smoothing problem in the setting of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces, a theory is developed which includes univariate smoothing splines, thin plate splines in d dimensions, splines on the sphere, additive splines, and interaction splines in a single framework. A straightforward generalization allows the theory to encompass the very important area of (Tikhonov) regularization methods for ill posed inverse problems. Convergence properties, data based smoothing parameter selection, confidence intervals, and numerical methods are established which are appropriate to a wide variety of problems which fall within this framework. Methods for including side conditions and other prior information in solving ill posed inverse problems are included. Data which involves samples of random variables with Gaussian, Poisson, binomial, and other distributions are treated in a unified optimization context. Experimental design questions, i.e., which functionals should be observed, are studied in a general context. Extensions to distributed parameter system identification problems are made by considering implicitly defined functionals.
