This example illustrates some properties of splines. Splines are curves, which are usually required to be continuous and smooth. Splines are usually defined as piecewise polynomials of degree n with ...

You can use PROC TRANSREG to output to a SAS data set the same smoothing splines that the GPLOT procedure creates. The SMOOTH transformation is a noniterative transformation for smoothing splines. The ...

The ubiquitous ball spline. Basically, it is a type of mechanical element used in a variety of industrial applications where precise movement and alignment is required, like machine tools, robot arms ...

Ball splines and bearings: each play a role in mechanical function, and each are unique. All types of machinery are provided with supports for rotating shafts, and that supporting device is a ...
