Local asymptotics for regression splines and confidence regions. (English) Zbl 0929.62052

Summary: We study the local behavior of regression splines. In particular, explicit expressions for the asymptotic pointwise bias and variance of regression splines are obtained. In addition, asymptotic normality for regression splines is established, leading to the construction of approximate confidence intervals and confidence bands for the regression function.
