Smoothing spline

Smoothing splines are a type of line that makes it easier to predict and understand patterns. They work by connecting lots of points, like dots, on a graph. The points tell a story about how two things are connected. But often, two dots are just too far away from each other to really show the connection in between. That's where a smoothing spline comes in! A smoothing spline will connect the dots, creating a smoother, more detailed line that shows the connection between the two points. It helps to predict and understand the pattern between the points and can make it easier to make decisions based on that pattern.
