Generation of a recentered B-spline basis matrix in additive models

Description

Generation of a B-spline basis matrix with recentered columns to handle the identifiability constraint in additive models. See Wood (CRC Press 2017, pp. 175-176) for more details.

Usage

centeredBasis.gen(x, knots, cm = NULL, pen.order = 2, verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

x

vector of values where to compute the "recentered" B-spline basis

knots

vector of knots (that should cover the values in <x>)

cm

(Optional) values subtracted from each column of the original B-spline matrix

pen.order

penalty order for the B-spline parameters (Default: 2)

verbose

verbose indicator (Default: TRUE)

Value

knots = seq(0,1,length=5)
obj = centeredBasis.gen(x,knots)
