Gordon,
Thank you. The example is clear.
Is there a minimum # of time points for which this
works? Or to phrase it somewhat differently, what is
the relationship between the n (the degree of the spline)
and t, the minimum number of time points necessary to
parameterize the spline?
Also, how do I know how many parameters is in the
model and which coefficients to use?
Can you please point me at a reference which treats this
kind of model?
Thanks and best wishes,
Rich

However, If there are any worked examples you could point me towards for polynomial and spline modeling of the time series I would greatly appreciate it. I am especially interested in testing the hypothesis that the temporal behavior of 2 treatments are different.
