Reviewer:
This paper introduces the Reinsch Splines to fit discrete SN data with errors to obtain derivatives (such as the transition redshift). The paper uses simulation data to demonstrate its performance. This is an interesting paper. However the writing needs improvement. I recommend publication on RAA, after minor revisions.
(1) Eq. 15. More explanations are required for this key equation, such as the motivation and the mathematical expression. In particular, I have difficulty to understand whether this choice is optimal. For example, why in some cases S=n is good (Fig. 2) but in other cases not? Are there any obvious reasons or some papers to refer to?
(2) Eq. 1. More words to explain the meaning of transition redshift, including its relation to more familiar w or q.
(3) Fig. 3. It shows that the Reinsch Splines works better than GaPP. Is this superme performance generic or just a coincidence? If generic, why?
A more general comparison against other method would be useful.
