Penalized likelihood method can be used for hazard estimation with lifetime data that are right-censored, left-truncated, and possibly with covariates. In this article, we are concerned with more scalable computation of the method and with the derivation and assessment of certain interval...

Generalized cross-validation (GCV) is a popular method for choosing the smoothing parameter in generalized spline smoothing when there are independent errors with common unknown variance. When data points are replicated, one can choose the smoothing parameter by minimizing one of three...

Penalized likelihood method is among the most effective tools for nonparametric multivariate function estimation. Recently, a generic computation-oriented asymptotic theory has been developed in the density estimation setting, and been extended to other settings such as conditional density...
