Abstract

Abstract The flexibility of the restricted least squares (RLS) method described by Buse and Lim (1977) for cubic spline regression models is used to consider other polynomial splines. Some of the conclusions of the analysis of a sample data set in the Buse and Lim article are criticized for failing to consider less restrictive models. The data are reanalyzed, the end result being a simpler quadratic spline regression model.
