Abstract:
This paper presents an algorithm for fitting a bivariate spline function to a set of scattered data. The number of knots and their position are determined automatically. However, the user has to provide a non-negative constant to control the tradeoff between closeness of fit and smoothness of fit. © 1981, by Academic Press Inc. (London) Limited.
