Dear all,

I have numerious suppliers that provide time series
data for forward curves. I would like to make
comparisons between the points for the different
suppliers. I thought the best way to proceed would be
to fit smooth splines through the different time
series data and then make comparisons by obtaining the
curvature at selected points and using a method to
compare them by constructing a hypothesis.

Does such a method exist for comparing curves and is
it possible to do in SPLUS?  

Thanks in advance for any help.

Dave
