Harezlak, Jarek (1998).
Bump Hunting Revisited
MSc Thesis, UBC Department of Statistics.
This thesis considers testing for the number of bumps in
a regression function or its derivative. The proposed
test, CriSP (critical smoothing parameter), is similar to
that of Silverman (1981) and Bowman, Jones and Gijbels (1998).
