Inference and predictions with Fractional Polynomials

Fractional polynomials is a popular class of statistical models that creates an alternative to regular polynomials and allow flexible parameterization of continuous variables. There exist several implementation of fractional polynomials in the literature. The aim of this project would be to prepare and carry out a small simulation study, where the ability of the approaches to recover the correct polynomials will be studied. Also the student can perform comparison of predictive performance of the studied approaches on a real data set.
