Abstract:
|
Penalized spline smoothing has been shown to connect to linear mixed models in statistical literature. In this paper, we show that local polynomial regression when expressed in a projection framework also has interesting connections to mixed models. Under some conditions, the local polynomial projection approach admits an equivalent mixed model formulation where the fixed-effects part includes the polynomial basis functions. Then we further show that asymptotically the trigonometric functions are the penalized basis in the mixed model formulation. These results suggest a new smoothing approach using a combination of unpenalized polynomials and penalized trigonometric functions. We illustrate the potential usefulness of the new approach with real data analysis.
