In bigsplines: Smoothing Splines for Large Samples

Description Details Author(s) References Examples

Fits smoothing spline regression models using scalable algorithms designed for large samples. Seven marginal spline types are supported: linear, cubic, different cubic, cubic periodic, cubic thin-plate, ordinal, and nominal. Random effects and parametric effects are also supported. Response can be Gaussian or non-Gaussian: Binomial, Poisson, Gamma, Inverse Gaussian, or Negative Binomial.

The function bigspline fits one-dimensional cubic smoothing splines (unconstrained or periodic). The function bigssa fits Smoothing Spline Anova (SSA) models (Gaussian data). The function bigssg fits Generalized Smoothing Spline Anova (GSSA) models (non-Gaussian data). The function bigssp is for fitting Smoothing Splines with Parametric effects (semi-parametric regression). The function bigtps fits one-, two-, and three-dimensional cubic thin-plate splines. There are corresponding predict, print, and summary functions for these methods.
