approxExtrap: Linear Extrapolation

In Hmisc: Harrell Miscellaneous

Linear Extrapolation

Description

Works in conjunction with the approx function to do linear extrapolation. approx in R does not support extrapolation at all, and it is buggy in S-Plus 6.

Usage

approxExtrap(x, y, xout, method = "linear", n = 50, rule = 2, f = 0,
             ties = "ordered", na.rm = FALSE)

Arguments

x, y, xout, method, n, rule, f	see approx
ties	applies only to R. See approx
na.rm	set to TRUE to remove NAs in x and y before proceeding

Details

Duplicates in x (and corresponding y elements) are removed before using approx.

Value

a vector the same length as xout
