tf_rebase: Change (basis) representation of a 'tf'-object

In tf: S3 Classes and Methods for Tidy Functional Data

Change (basis) representation of a tf-object

Description

Apply the representation of one tf-object to another; i.e. re-express it in the other's basis, on its grid, etc.
Useful for making different functional data objects compatible so they can be combined, compared or computed with.

Usage

tf_rebase(object, basis_from, arg = tf_arg(basis_from), ...)

## S3 method for class 'tfd'
tf_rebase(object, basis_from, arg = tf_arg(basis_from), ...)

## S3 method for class 'tfb'
tf_rebase(object, basis_from, arg = tf_arg(basis_from), ...)

Arguments

object	a tf object whose representation should be changed.
basis_from	the tf object with the desired basis, arg, evaluator, etc.
arg	optional new arg values, defaults to those of basis_from.
...	forwarded to the tfb or tfd constructors.

Details

This uses double dispatch (S3) internally, so the methods defined below are themselves generics for methods tf_rebase.tfd.tfd, tf_rebase.tfd.tfb_spline, tf_rebase.tfd.tfb_fpc, tf_rebase.tfb.tfd, tf_rebase.tfb.tfb that dispatch on object_from.

Value

a tf-vector containing the data of object in the same representation as basis_from (potentially modified by the arguments given in ...).

Methods (by class)

• tf_rebase(tfd): re-express a tfd-vector in the same representation as some other tf-vector

• tf_rebase(tfb): re-express a tfb-vector in the same representation as some other tf-vector.

Examples

x <- tf_rgp(3)
xb <- tfb(x, k = 8, penalized = FALSE, verbose = FALSE)
tf_rebase(tf_rgp(3), xb)
