tpower: Compute a truncated power function.

In JOPS: Practical Smoothing with P-Splines

Compute a truncated power function.

Description

Compute a truncated power function.

Usage

tpower(x, knot, p)

Arguments

x	a vector on which the basis is calculated.
knot	a scalar giving the truncation point.
p	a scalar power for the basis, e.g. p = 3 for cubic TPF.

Value

a vector with the truncated power function.
