Optimal Spline Method with Applications to Ship Classification and to Aircraft System Identification.
Abstract
This report describes a method for optimal placement of knots in a quadratic spline representation of nonlinear functions. Newton's gradient method is utilized to obtain quadratic convergence of knot locations. Applications to ship classification and to aircraft system identification are presented. (Author)
