Abstract:

Cyclic cubic regression spline smoothing is a method to estimate s periodic smooth regression function such as daily or annual pattern of temperature. For a given set of knots, a cyclic cubic spline function is a piecewise cubic function continuous up to second derivatives at the knots, and the function values and derivatives up to the second order at the both endpoints are equal. When the knots are equally spaced, the vector of function values holds an eqation with the vector f second derivatives and cyclic band matrices. From this equation, it is shown that the eigen values and vectors of the hat matrix for cyclic cubic regression spline smoothing have an interesting structure and it characterizes smoothing mechanism of cyclic cubic regression spline smoothing.
