iknots_or_df: Internal Knots or Degrees of Freedom

In dewittpe/cpr: Control Polygon Reduction

Internal Knots or Degrees of Freedom

Description

Check order, degrees of freedom (df) and iknots

Usage

iknots_or_df(x, iknots, df, order)

Arguments

x	the support - a numeric vector
iknots	internal knots - a numeric vector
df	degrees of freedom - a numeric value of length 1
order	polynomial order

Details

This is an internal function, not to be exported, and used in the calls for bsplines and bsplineD.

Use iknots preferentially. If iknots are not provided then return the trimmed_quantile for the appropriate df and order

Value

a numeric vector to use as the internal knots defining a B-spline.

See Also

bsplines, bsplineD, trimmed_quantile

Examples

xvec <- runif(600, min = 0, max = 3)

# return the iknots
cpr:::iknots_or_df(x = xvec, iknots = 1:2, df = NULL, order = NULL)

# return the iknots even when the df and order are provided
cpr:::iknots_or_df(x = xvec, iknots = 1:2, df = 56, order = 12)

# return numeric(0) when df <= order (df < order will also give a warning)
cpr:::iknots_or_df(x = xvec, iknots = NULL, df = 6, order = 6)

# return trimmed_quantile when df > order
# probs = (df - order) / (df - order + 1)
cpr:::iknots_or_df(x = xvec, iknots = NULL, df = 10, order = 4)
cpr::trimmed_quantile(xvec, probs = 1:6 / 7)
