GAM - Splines - Natural Cubic Spline, Smoothing Splines

This video focuses on natural cubic splines, which are linear at the edges to reduce variance. We'll see how to derive them from the power-series representation and try to understand the new representation. We'll also introduce smoothing splines and show that natural cubic splines are the smoothest interpolators. Lastly, we'll touch on the use of splines in computer graphics for drawing smooth shapes and animations.
