21 May 2013	SLM - Shape Language Modeling Least squares spline modeling using shape primitives	erick	Thank you, John. According to your suggestion, I have fitted my data again, but unfortunately, the results is worse than seperately fitting the two parts of the curve. I made a simple simulation, but I still got the similar result. Would you please take a few minutes to have a look at my simulation data, I will send it to you by email. Thank you. I found the code written by Meyer on this web site "http://www.stat.colostate.edu/~meyer/srrs.htm", but it was written in R code, not matlab. I think I should learn R code these days. Meyer also did not give out how to fit the data with half convex and half concave, it seems still a long way for me to get out. Would you please give me some suggestion? Thank you. I am looking forward to your new reply, Thank you again.	5
16 May 2013	SLM - Shape Language Modeling Least squares spline modeling using shape primitives	John D'Errico	No. SLM does NOT use truncated power functions! These are generally a numerically poor way to implement a spline, even only a cubic spline. SLM uses a Hermite formulation, which personally, I've always preferred as they are easy to look at and understand the shape just by looking at the parameters since they are parameterized by function values and derivatives at the knots. Its just my personal preference though, since a spline by any other basis is still a spline. As far as monotonicity or concavity applying only over a restricted range, you can do so using SLM directly. Read the help for slmset. It says (in part): 'increasing' - controls monotonicity of the function = 'off' --> No part of the spline is constrained to be an increasing function. = 'on' --> the function will be increasing over its entire domain. = vector of length 2 --> denotes the start and end points of a region of the curve over which it is monotone increasing. = array of size nx2 --> each row of which denotes the start and end points of a region of the curve over which it is monotone increasing. So if you wish a constraint to apply only over a portion of the curve, you can specify the interval. This same approach applies to the concavity constraints. If that constraint would indicate the curve be monotonic over only part of a knot interval, I do stretch it to require monotonicity over a complete knot interval. So you cannot stop midway between a pair of knots. In that case, simply add a knot.	Comment only
16 May 2013	SLM - Shape Language Modeling Least squares spline modeling using shape primitives	erick	John, would you please tell me if it is possible to fit such kind of curve as below: monotonic 'increasing', 'concaveup' in its first half, 'concavedown' in its second half. To fit the above curve use slm tool, I splited the curve into halves. Then I use slm tool twice to seperately fit the two parts of the curve. The result is not so good. Can slm tool solve this problem? I am looking forword to you early reply.	Comment only
16 May 2013	SLM - Shape Language Modeling Least squares spline modeling using shape primitives	erick	John, I think I have got the answers to my questions. First, I thnik the basis spline you used in SLM toolis the truncated power functions, this kind of function is effective for low degree of spline(e.g. degree 2 or 3). In Ramsay's paper, he suggested that I-spline would be a more suitable set of basis splines that can be combined linearly to yield any other spline associated with knot sequence. I wonder if it is possible to add the application by I-spline in slm tool in its latter versions. Second, Is "slm.stats.finalRP" the smoothing parameter for regression splines? According to the example in "slm_tutorial.m", I can get many "RP", and the last one is about 8.9. I think you must be busy these days. Wish you good luck all the time. Thank you.	5
14 May 2013	SLM - Shape Language Modeling Least squares spline modeling using shape primitives	erick	John, I think I have misunderstand "cubic spline". "Cubic spline" only means the spline has degree 3. I can choose different spline basis function to form cubic spline, such as M-spline, B-spline or I-spline. In Ramsay's paper, he gave out some examples of monotonic cubic spline fitting by linear combination of I-splines with degree 3. John, Would you tell me what is the spline basis function you choosed in SLM tool if I use cubic spline of drgree 3 for curve fitting? Looking forward to your early reply, Thank you again.	5
