PolyShift: Transformation of polynomial coefficients to change origin...

In gmonette/spida2: Collection of tools developed for the Summer Programme in Data Analysis 2000-2012

Transformation of polynomial coefficients to change origin Useful to equate polynomial coefficients for a periodic spline

Description

If coef is a vector of coefficients for a polynomial of the form coef[1] + coef[2]*x + coef[3]*x^2 + coef[4]*x^3 , then coef_tr <- PolyShift(a, 4) %*% coef is a vector of coefficients for the same polynomial centered at a, i.e. coef_tr[1] + coef_tr[2]*(x-a) + coef_tr[3]*(x-a)^2 + coef_tr[4]*(x-a)^3 ,

Usage

PolyShift(a, n)

Arguments

a	center for transformed polynomial
n	number of coefficients

Examples

coefs <- c(3,2,4)
x <- 3
n <- length(coefs)
a <- 2
sum( coefs * x ^ (0:(n-1))) 
sum( PolyShift(a,n)%*%coefs * (x -a)^(0:(n-1)))
