BSPLINE: Stata modules to compute B-splines parameterized by their values at reference points

Statistical Software Components from Boston College Department of Economics

Abstract: bspline and frencurv, each of which generates a basis of splines in an X-variable, for use in the varlist of a regression command (such as regress or glm) for fitting a spline in the X-variable. bspline generates a basis of Schoenberg B-splines, whereas frencurv ("French curve") generates a basis of reference splines, whose fitted parameters in the regression model will simply be values of the spline at reference points on the X-axis.
