Abstract:	A nerve from a crayfish is repeatedly stimulated, and from this stimulation a random pattern of nerve "firings" and "nonfirings" emerges. In the process of classifying these nerve patterns and estimating the underlying firing function, we explore data-specific issues involved with the implementation of the EM algorithm, self-modeling regression (SEMOR), and Bayesian adaptive regression splines (BARS).
