ds.qlspline | R Documentation |
This function is based on the native R function qlspline
from the
lspline
package. This function computes the basis of piecewise-linear spline
such that, depending on the argument marginal, the coefficients can be interpreted as
(1) slopes of consecutive spline segments, or (2) slope change at consecutive knots.

x |
the name of the input numeric variable |
q |
numeric, a single scalar greater or equal to 2 for a number of equal-frequency intervals along x or a vector of numbers in (0; 1) specifying the quantiles explicitly. |
na.rm |
logical, whether NA should be removed when calculating quantiles, passed to na.rm of quantile. Default set to TRUE |
marginal |
logical, how to parametrize the spline, see Details |
names |
character, vector of names for constructed variables |
newobj |
a character string that provides the name for the output
variable that is stored on the data servers. Default |
datasources |
a list of |
If marginal is FALSE (default) the coefficients of the spline correspond to slopes of the consecutive segments. If it is TRUE the first coefficient correspond to the slope of the first segment. The consecutive coefficients correspond to the change in slope as compared to the previous segment. Function qlspline wraps lspline and calculates the knot positions to be at quantiles of x. If q is a numerical scalar greater or equal to 2, the quantiles are computed at seq(0, 1, length.out = q + 1)[-c(1, q+1)], i.e. knots are at q-tiles of the distribution of x. Alternatively, q can be a vector of values in [0; 1] specifying the quantile probabilities directly (the vector is passed to argument probs of quantile).
an object of class "lspline" and "matrix", which its name is specified by the
newobj
argument (or its default name "qlspline.newobj"), is assigned on the serverside.
