trendfiltering R package

Package website

A suite of tools for denoising and analyzing one-dimensional signals with trend filtering. Trend filtering constructs a piecewise polynomial estimate (of any order) for the signal with knots chosen adaptively from the observed data. Hyperpameter(s) can be optimized by Stein's unbiased risk estimate or V-fold cross validation with a customizable loss function. Methods are also included for trend filtering uncertainty quantification and a generalized "relaxed trend filtering" estimator.

The trendfiltering package can be installed from GitHub using the command below.

Installation
