Fixed-interval smoothing is a method of extracting useful information from inaccurate data. It has been applied to problems in engineering, the physical sciences, and the social sciences, in areas such as control, communications, signal processing, acoustics, geophysics, oceanography, statistics, econometrics, and structural analysis.
This monograph addresses problems for which a linear stochastic state space model is available, in which case the objective is to compute the linear least-squares estimate of the state vector in a fixed interval, using observations previously collected in...

Fast Compact Algorithms and Software for Spline Smoothing investigates algorithmic alternatives for computing cubic smoothing splines when the amount of smoothing is determined automatically by minimizing the generalized cross-validation score. These algorithms are based on Cholesky factorization, QR factorization, or the fast Fourier transform. All algorithms are implemented in MATLAB and are compared based on speed, memory use, and accuracy. An overall best algorithm is identified, which allows very large data sets to be processed quickly on a personal computer.
