mongrad {fda}

R Documentation

Evaluate the gradient of a monotone function

Description

Evaluates the gradient of a monotone function with respect to the coefficients defining the log-first derivative $W(t)$ at each of a set of argument values.

Usage

mongrad(x, Wfdobj, basislist=vector("list",JMAX), 
                    returnMatrix=FALSE)

Arguments

`x`	A numerical vector at which function and derivative are evaluated.
`Wfdobj`	A functional data object.
`basislist`	A list containing values of basis functions.
`returnMatrix`	logical: If TRUE, a two-dimensional is returned using a special class from the Matrix package.

Value

A matrix with as many rows as argument values and as many columns as basis functions defining $W$.
