In addition, let $X$ be locally like a $m$-fold integrated $\\beta$-fractional Brownian motion for all non-singular points. We consider approximation of $X$ by piecewise Hermite interpolation splines with $n$ free knots (i.e., a sampling design, a mesh). The approximation performance is measured by mean errors (e.g., integrated or maximal quadratic mean errors). We construct a sequence of sampling designs with asymptotic approximation rate $n^{-(m+\\beta)}$ for the whole interval.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2010-05-19T09:00:30.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "62M86" ], "keywords": [ "random process", "spline approximation", "maximal quadratic mean errors", "asymptotic approximation rate", "sampling design" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 16, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1004.5289A" } } }
