Abstract:
|
Free-knot splines are often used in applied change point problems. For example, a piecewise linear model might be used to to determine when a species population changes growth regimes. In this talk we first present the fiducial solution the the arbitrary degree free-knot spline and then generalize the solution to address the model selection estimation of the number of knot points. We conclude with a comparison of the fiducial method to the competing maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods.
