Abstract: Bayesian confidence intervals of a smoothing spline are often used to distinguish two curves. In this paper, we provide an asymptotic formula for sample-size calculations based on Bayesian confidence intervals. Approximations and simulations on special functions indicate that this asymptotic formula is reasonably accurate.
