Computing Smoothing Spline Score Estimator

Abstract

We provide an efficient algorithm for computing the smoothing spline score estimator of Cox (1985). The algorithm exploits the banded structure of the linear algebra involved. Calls are made to the LAPACK, Level 1, 2 and 3 BLASsubroutine libraries designed to be efficient on a wide range of modern high-performance computers.
