find.c | R Documentation |
Find mixture proportions that approximate given distribution by a G-spline mixture.
find.c(knots, sdspline, dist = "dnorm")
knots |
A vector of G-spline knots mu. |
sdspline |
Standard deviation sigma0 of the basis G-spline. |
dist |
A character string specifying the function used to compute a density of the distribution you want to approximate. |
The function finds the G-spline coefficients that approximates
a density given by dist
in such sense that the value
of the G-spline is exactly equal to the value of that density
in knots
.
Either the vector of G-spline 'c' coefficients or NULL
if there are problems to find them.
