eval.basis {fda}

Values of Basis Functions or their Derivatives

Description

A set of basis functions are evaluated at a vector of argument values. If a linear differential object is provided, the values are the result of applying the the operator to each basis function.

Usage

eval.basis(evalarg, basisobj, Lfdobj=0, returnMatrix=FALSE)
## S3 method for class 'basisfd'
predict(object, newdata=NULL, Lfdobj=0,
                          returnMatrix=FALSE, ...)

Arguments

evalarg, newdata

a vector of argument values at which the basis functiona is to be evaluated.

basisobj

a basis object defining basis functions whose values are to be computed.

Lfdobj

either a nonnegative integer or a linear differential. operator object.

object

an object of class basisfd

...

optional arguments for predict, not currently used

returnMatrix

logical: If TRUE, a two-dimensional is returned using a special class from the Matrix package.

Details

If a linear differential operator object is supplied, the basis must be such that the highest order derivative can be computed. If a B-spline basis is used, for example, its order must be one larger than the highest order of derivative required.

Value

a matrix of basis function values with rows corresponding to argument values and columns to basis functions.

predict.basisfd is a convenience wrapper for eval.basis.
