  <dc:title>Lagrangian Multiplier Smoothing Splines for Smooth Function
Estimation</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package lgspline version 1.1.0</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Implements Lagrangian multiplier smoothing splines for flexible
    nonparametric regression and function estimation. Provides tools for fitting,
    prediction, and inference using a constrained optimization approach to
    enforce smoothness. Supports generalized linear models, Weibull accelerated
    failure time (AFT) models, Cox proportional hazards models, 
    quadratic programming constraints, and customizable working-correlation 
    structures, with options for parallel fitting. The core spline construction 
    builds on Ezhov et al. (2018) &lt;doi:10.1515/jag-2017-0029&gt;. 
    Quadratic-programming and SQP details follow Goldfarb &amp; Idnani (1983) 
    &lt;doi:10.1007/BF02591962&gt; and Nocedal &amp; Wright (2006) 
    &lt;doi:10.1007/978-0-387-40065-5&gt;. For smoothing spline and penalized spline 
    background, see Wahba (1990) &lt;doi:10.1137/1.9781611970128&gt; and Wood (2017)
    &lt;doi:10.1201/9781315370279&gt;. For variance-component and correlation-parameter
    estimation, see Searle et al. (2006) &lt;ISBN:978-0470009598&gt;. The default
    multivariate partitioning step uses k-means clustering as in MacQueen
    (1967).</dc:description>
