The subject of multivariate splines has become a rapidly growing field of mathematical research. The author presents the subject from an elementary point of view that parallels the theory and ...

Ball splines provide nearly friction-free linear motion while simultaneously transmitting torsional loads. The path of the bearing balls is straight, not helical, which allows for a very efficient ...

The splines, grooves, or tongues are machined along the length of the shaft. They mate with a female-splined bore, gear, bearing, or other mating component. They transfer rotary motion in rotary drive ...

Apply resampling methods in order to obtain additional information about fitted models. Optimize fitting procedures to improve prediction accuracy and interpretability. Understand the benefits and ...
