leg: Legendre polynomial matrix

In sommer: Solving Mixed Model Equations in R

Legendre polynomial matrix

Description

Legendre polynomials of order 'n' are created given a vector 'x' and normalized to lay between values u and v.

Usage

  leg(x,n=1,u=-1,v=1, intercept=TRUE, intercept1=FALSE)

Arguments

x	numeric vector to be used for the polynomial.
n	order of the Legendre polynomials.
u	lower bound for the polynomial.
v	upper bound for the polynomial.
intercept	a TRUE/FALSE value indicating if the intercept should be included.
intercept1	a TRUE/FALSE value indicating if the intercept should have value 1 (is multiplied by sqrt(2)).

Value

$S3

an Legendre polynomial matrix of order n.
