  • QuickSAND update - New Routines

    QuickSAND.004 (Quick Smoothing And Numerical Differentiation for the Power
    Macintosh) has been uploaded (http://jaw.fmnh.org/ND.html>. QuickSAND is
    freeware.

    Routines now include

    1. Generalized Cross-Validatory Spline Smoothing and Differentiation
    (Woltring 1986).

    2. Kasarov-Pantos approximation of the optimal Wiener filter (Gazzani 1994).

    3. LAMBDA (Linear-phase Autoregressive Model-Based Derivative Assessment
    Algorithm) (D'Amico & Ferrigno 1990, 1992). NEW!

    4. Piecewise polynomial of any piecelength and polynomial order up to 20
    (Lanshammar 1982). NEW!

    5. 4th central difference smoothing and differentiation (Lanczos 1957). NEW!

    "I like practical applications in mathematics, rather than speculating
    about the first ten to the minus something seconds of the universe.
    Cosmology seems to be almost too close to theology to be interesting.
    To me, it is not quite science, but more like creation myth."
