generate_knots: Generate Spline Knots.

In CovEsts: Nonparametric Estimators for Covariance Functions

Generate Spline Knots.

Description

A helper function that generates m + 2 spline knots of the form:

\kappa_{0} = 0 , \kappa_{1} = 1 / (m + 1) , \dots , \kappa_{m} = m / (m + 1) , \kappa_{m + 1} = 1 .

The knots are equally spaced with boundary knots \kappa_{0} = 0 and \kappa_{m + 1} = 1 .

Usage

generate_knots(m)

Arguments

m	The number of nonboundary knots.

Value

A numeric vector representing the knots, including the boundary knots.
