compositionalSpline: Compositional spline

In robCompositions: Compositional Data Analysis

Description

This code implements the compositional smoothing splines grounded on the theory of Bayes spaces.

Usage

compositionalSpline(
  t,
  clrf,
  knots,
  w,
  order,
  der,
  alpha,
  spline.plot = FALSE,
  basis.plot = FALSE
)

Arguments

t	class midpoints
clrf	clr transformed values at class midpoints, i.e., fcenLR(f(t))
knots	sequence of knots
w	weights
order	order of the spline (i.e., degree + 1)
der	lth derivation
alpha	smoothing parameter
spline.plot	if TRUE, the resulting spline is plotted
basis.plot	if TRUE, the ZB-spline basis system is plotted

Details

The compositional splines enable to construct a spline basis in the centred logratio (clr) space of density functions (ZB-spline basis) and consequently also in the original space of densities (CB-spline basis).The resulting compositional splines in the clr space as well as the ZB-spline basis satisfy the zero integral constraint. This enables to work with compositional splines consistently in the framework of the Bayes space methodology.

Augmented knot sequence is obtained from the original knots by adding #(order-1) multiple endpoints.

Value

J	value of the functional J
ZB_coef	ZB-spline basis coeffcients
CV	score of cross-validation
GCV	score of generalized cross-validation
