splineDesign | R Documentation |
Evaluate the design matrix for the B-splines defined by knots
at the values in x
.
splineDesign(knots, x, ord = 4, derivs, outer.ok = FALSE, sparse = FALSE) spline.des (knots, x, ord = 4, derivs, outer.ok = FALSE, sparse = FALSE)
knots |
a numeric vector of knot positions (which will be sorted increasingly if needed). |
x |
a numeric vector of values at which to evaluate the B-spline
functions or derivatives. Unless |
ord |
a positive integer giving the order of the spline function. This is the number of coefficients in each piecewise polynomial segment, thus a cubic spline has order 4. Defaults to 4. |
derivs |
an integer vector with values between |
outer.ok |
logical indicating if |
sparse |
logical indicating if the result should inherit from class
|
A matrix with length(x)
rows and length(knots) - ord
columns. The i'th row of the matrix contains the coefficients of the
B-splines (or the indicated derivative of the B-splines) defined by
the knot
vector and evaluated at the i'th value of x
.
Each B-spline is defined by a set of ord
successive knots so
the total number of B-splines is length(knots) - ord
.
The older spline.des
function takes the same arguments but
returns a list with several components including knots
,
ord
, derivs
, and design
. The design
component is the same as the value of the splineDesign
function.
