Restricted cubic spline function is an ideal model in trend approximation, which is widely used in doseresponse meta-analysis. The spline function, based on parameter technique, is a smoothly joined piecewise polynomial of each knot, with a cubic polynomial in each sub-interval of the slope which fits well in the non-linear trend by changing the number and (or) the sites of the knots. We have introduced the methodology of linear and non-linear slope model in dose-response meta-analysis in the previous article, and in this one, we will give a more detailed discussion on restricted cubic spline function mainly in the following aspects: model building, parameters pooling and knots selecting.
