Penalized smoothing splines resolve the curvature identifiability problem in age-period-cohort models with unequal intervals

Age-period-cohort (APC) models are frequently used in a variety of health and demographic-related outcomes. Fitting and interpreting APC models to data in equal intervals (equal age and period widths) is nontrivial due to the...
