In distfromq: Reconstruct a Distribution from a Collection of Quantiles

A factory that returns a function that performs linear interpolation, allowing for "steps" or discontinuities.

Description

A factory that returns a function that performs linear interpolation, allowing for "steps" or discontinuities.

Usage

step_interp_factory(x, y, cont_dir = c("right", "left"), increasing = TRUE)

Arguments

x	numeric vector with the "horizontal axis" coordinates of the points to interpolate.
y	numeric vector with the "vertical axis" coordinates of the points to interpolate.
cont_dir	at steps or discontinuities, the direction from which the function is continuous. This will be "right" for a CDF or "left" for a QF.
increasing	boolean indicating whether the function is increasing or decreasing. Only used in the degenerate case where there is only one unique value of x.

Value

a function with argument x that performs linear approximation of the input data points.
