For smoothing spline models with a single smoothing parameter, test the hypothesis that the unknown funciton lies in the null space using the local most powerful (LMP) test and a GCV or GML test.

For Gaussian data with one smoothing parameter, test the hypothesis that the function is in the null space \(H_0\), i.e. the parametric part of the fitted model is sufficient. Available are the LMP and GCV or GML methods. However, the p-values cannot be calculated analytically since the null distributions for these testing statistics under \(H_0\) are unknown. Monte Carlo simulation is used to approximate the p-values for the LMP, and GCV (if spar="v") or GML (if spar="m") methods. Due to computation burden, the smoothing parameters are fixed at their estimate in the currect calculation.
When spar="m", an approximate p-value based on a mixture of two Chi-square distributions is also provided for the GML test, which tends to be conservationve (Pinherio and Bates, 2002).
Methods further developed in Liu and Wang (2004) and Liu, Meiring and Wang (2004) will be implemented in the future.
