Abstract

Generalized cross-validation is a method for choosing the smoothing parameter in smoothing splines and related regularization problems. This method requires the global minimization of the generalized cross-validation function. In this paper an algorithm based on interval analysis is presented to find the globally optimal value for the smoothing parameter, and a numerical example illustrates the performance of the algorithm.
