SplineSmoothingFactor

Declaration:TCurveFit.SplineSmoothingFactor: double;
The property SplineSmoothingFactor specifies the extent of smoothing used for the calculation of a smoothed spline. This property may assume values between 0.0 and 1.0. A value of 0.0 means no smoothing at all, creating a normal cubic spline interpolation (natural spline with second derivative equal to zero at the endpoins). A value of 1.0 calculates a linear least squares fit (which can be seen as the result of maximal smoothing).
