interpolate_opts: Interpolation Options

In paramix: Aggregate and Disaggregate Continuous Parameters for Compartmental Models

Interpolation Options

Description

Creates and interpolation options object for use with alembic().

Usage

interpolate_opts(fun, kind = c("point", "integral"), ...)

Arguments

fun	a function
kind	a string; either "point" or "integral". How to interpret the x, y values being interpolated. Either as point observations of a function OR as the integral of the function over the interval.
...	arbitrary other arguments, but checked against signature of fun

Details

This method creates the interpolation object for use with alembic(); this is a convenience method, which does basic validation on arguments and ensures the information used in alembic() to do interpolation is available.

The ... arguments will be provided to fun when it is invoked to interpolate the tabular "functional" form of arguments to alembic(). If fun has an argument kind, that parameter will also be passed when invoking the function; if not, then the input data will be transformed to \{x, z\} pairs, such that x_{i+1}-x_{i} * z_i = y_i - i.e., transforming to a point value and a functional form which is assumed constant until the next partition.

Value

a list, with fun and kind keys, as well as whatever other valid keys appear in ....

Examples

interpolate_opts(
  fun = stats::splinefun, method = "natural", kind = "point"
)
interpolate_opts(
  fun = stats::approxfun, method = "constant", yleft = 0, yright = 0,
  kind = "integral"
)
