摘要
Many papers have appeared in the literature over the past 30 years concerning the least squares estimation of spline functions. All of these previously published procedures rely on numerical search techniques when faced with splines which have knots at unknown locations. In the special case of linear splines with unknown knot locations, such numerical searches are unnecessary. as shown in this paper. If one specifies a desired (known) number of knots using linear splines, the least squares solution(s) for the minimizing location(s) can be explicitly located. Some data generated by a computer simulation of a war game is used to illustrate the procedure.
