mrts: Multi-Resolution Thin-plate Spline Basis Functions

In autoFRK: Automatic Fixed Rank Kriging

Description

This function generates multi-resolution thin-plate spline basis functions. The basis functions are (descendingly) ordered in terms of their degrees of smoothness with a higher-order function corresponding to larger-scale features and a lower-order one corresponding to smaller-scale details. They are useful in the spatio-temporal random effects model.

Usage

mrts(knot, k, x = NULL, maxknot = 5000)

Arguments

knot	m by d matrix (d<=3) for m locations of d-dimensional knots as in ordinary splines. Missing values are not allowed.
k	the number (<=m) of basis functions.
x	n by d matrix of coordinates corresponding to n locations where the values of basis functions to be evaluated. Default is NULL, which uses the m by d matrix in knot.
maxknot	maximum number of knots to be used in generating basis functions. If maxknot < m, a deterministic subset selection of knots will be used. For using all knots, set maxknot>=m.

Value

An mrts object is generated. If x=NULL (default) it returns an m by k matrix of k basis function taken values at knots. With x given, it returns n by k matrix for basis functions taken values at x.
