Calculate Reproducing Kernels for Some L-splines

Description

Return a matrix evaluating reproducing kernels for some L-splines at observed points.

Usage

lspline(x,y=x, type="exp", ...)

Arguments

x

a numeric vector on which reproducing kerenls are evaluated.

y

an optional vector, specifying the second argument of reproducing kernels. Default is x.

type

a string indicating the type of L-splines. Available options are "exp", "logit","sine", "sine1", and "linSinCos". Default is "exp".

...

other arguments needed.

Details

Denote L as the differential oprator, H_0 as the null (kernel) space. The available kernels correspond to the following L:

Value

a matrix with the numbers of row and column equal to the lengths of x and y respectively. The [i, j] element is the reproducing kernel evaluated at (x[i], y[j]).
