The calculation of nonparametric quantile regression curve estimates is often computationally intensive, as typically an expensive nonlinear optimization problem is involved. This article proposes a ...

Additive modelling offers a flexible framework in which a response variable is expressed as the sum of smooth functions of predictors. Central to this approach are smoothing techniques that control ...

Many high-quality parts produced on 3D printers can be sanded by hand to eliminate layer lines and produce a smooth finish. There’s a misconception that 3D printing cannot make the kind of smooth and ...

Researchers from the UK Met Office, in collaboration with the Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences, have developed an advanced terrain-smoothing technique that significantly improves the ...
