smooth.fd: Smooth a Functional Data Object Using an Indirectly Specified...

In fda: Functional Data Analysis

Smooth a Functional Data Object Using an Indirectly Specified Roughness Penalty

Description

Smooth data already converted to a functional data object, fdobj, using criteria consolidated in a functional data parameter object, fdParobj. For example, data may have been converted to a functional data object using function smooth.basis using a fairly large set of basis functions. This 'fdobj' is then smoothed as specified in 'fdParobj'.

Usage

smooth.fd(fdobj, fdParobj)

Arguments

fdobj	a functional data object to be smoothed.
fdParobj	a functional parameter object. This object is defined by a roughness penalty in slot Lfd and a smoothing parameter lambda in slot lambda, and this information is used to further smooth argument fdobj.

Value

a functional data object.
