A smoothing procedure for discrete time failure data is proposed which allows for the inclusion of covariates. This purely nonparametric method is based on discrete or continuous kernel smoothing techniques that gives a compromise between the data and smoothness. The method may be used as an explora
Estimation of univariate regression functions from bounded i.i.d. data is considered. Estimates are deΓΏned by minimizing a complexity penalized residual sum of squares over all piecewise polynomials. The integrated squared error of these estimates achieves for piecewise p-smooth regression functions
