    Cross-validation is applied to the choice of the parameters that control the degree of smoothing in generalized Whittaker-Henderson graduation. The approach is compared with the Bayesian method, and is illustrated by graduation of a data set of J. C. Hickman and R. B. Miller and of data underlying the English Life Table number 13 (males).
