We use a reproducing kernel Hilbert space representation to derive the smoothing spline solution when the smoothness penalty is a function {lambda}(t) of the design space t, thereby allowing the model to adapt to various degrees of smoothness in the structure of the data. We propose a convenient form for the smoothness penalty function and discuss computational algorithms for automatic curve fitting using a generalised crossvalidation measure.

Key Words: Curve fitting; Generalised crossvalidation; Smoothing spline; Spatial adaption; Spline
