getdx {dynr} R Documentation

## A wrapper function to call functions in the fda package to obtain smoothed estimated derivatives at a specified order

### Description

A wrapper function to call functions in the fda package to obtain smoothed estimated derivatives at a specified order

### Usage

getdx(theTimes, norder, roughPenaltyMax, lambda, dataMatrix, derivOrder)


### Arguments

 theTimes The time points at which derivative estimation are requested norder Order of Bsplines - usually 2 higher than roughPenaltyMax roughPenaltyMax Penalization order. Usually set to 2 higher than the highest-order derivatives desired lambda A positive smoothing parameter: larger –> more smoothing dataMatrix Data of size total number of time points x total number of subjects derivOrder The order of the desired derivative estimates

### Value

A list containing: 1. out (a matrix containing the derivative estimates at the specified order that matches the dimension of dataMatrix); 2. basisCoef (estimated basis coefficients); 3. basis2 (basis functions)

### Examples

#x = getdx(theTimes,norder,roughPenaltyMax,sp,out2,0)[[1]] #Smoothed level
#dx = getdx(theTimes,norder,roughPenaltyMax,sp,out2,1)[[1]] #Smoothed 1st derivs
#d2x = getdx(theTimes,norder,roughPenaltyMax,sp,out2,2)[[1]] #Smoothed 2nd derivs
