princurve-package: Fit a Principal Curve in Arbitrary Dimension

Description References See Also

Description

Fit a principal curve which describes a smooth curve that passes through the middle of the data x in an orthogonal sense. This curve is a non-parametric generalization of a linear principal component. If a closed curve is fit (using smoother = "periodic_lowess") then the starting curve defaults to a circle, and each fit is followed by a bias correction suggested by Jeff Banfield.
