D-splines: Estimating rate schedules using high-dimensional splines with empirical demographic penalties
<b>Background</b>: High-dimensional parametric models with penalized likelihood functions strike a good balance between bias and variance for estimating continuous age schedules from large samples. The penalized spline (P-spline) approach is particularly useful for these purposes, but it...
