摘 要:Smoothing spline is a popular method in non-parametric function *** the analysis of data from real applications,specific shapes on the estimated function are often required to ensure the estimated function undeviating from the domain *** this work,we focus on constructing the exact shape constrained smoothing spline with efficient ***‘exact’here is referred as to impose the shape constraint on an infinite set such as an interval in one-dimensional *** the estimation becomes a so-called semi-infinite optimisation problem with an infinite number of *** proposed method is able to establish a sufficient and necessary condition for transforming the exact shape constraints to a finite number of constraints,leading to efficient estimation of the shape constrained *** performance of the proposed methods is evaluated by both simulation and real case studies.
