Calculate normal slope line curvature
Description
Calculate normal slope line curvature (kn)s, which is the principal representative of the profile curvature group based on regression coefficients from the equation Z =ax^2+by^2+cxy+dx+ey(+f).
Usage
kns(a, b, c, d, e)
Arguments
a
regression coefficient
b
regression coefficient
c
regression coefficient
d
regression coefficient
e
regression coefficient
