| Description: | Tests based on regression spline are developed in this chapter for testing nonparametric functions in nonparametric, partial linear and varying-coefficient models, respectively. These models are more flexible than linear regression model. However, one important problem is if it is really necessary to use such complex models which contain nonparametric functions. For this purpose, p-values for testing the linearity and constancy of the nonparametric functions are established based on regression spline and fiducial method. In the application of spline-based method, the determination of knots is difficult but plays an important role in inferring regression curve. In order to infer the nonparametric regression at different smoothing levels (scales) and locations, multi-scale smoothing methods based on regression spline are developed to test the structures of the regression curve and compare multiple regression curves. It could sidestep the determination of knots; meanwhile, it could give a more reliable result in using the spline-based method. |
