Title
P-splines regression smoothing and difference type of penalty
Author
Abstract
P-splines regression provides a flexible smoothing tool. In this paper we consider difference type penalties in a context of nonparametric generalized linear models, and investigate the impact of the order of the differencing operator. Minimizing Akaikes information criterion we search for a possible best data-driven value of the differencing order. Theoretical derivations are established for the normal model and provide insights into a possible optimal choice of the differencing order and its interrelation with other parameters. Applications of the selection procedure to non-normal models, such as Poisson models, are given. Simulation studies investigate the performance of the selection procedure and we illustrate its use on real data examples.
