| splinefun | R Documentation |
Perform cubic (or Hermite) spline interpolation of given data points, returning either a list of points obtained by the interpolation or a function performing the interpolation.
splinefun(x, y = NULL,
method = c("fmm", "periodic", "natural", "monoH.FC", "hyman"),
ties = mean)
spline(x, y = NULL, n = 3*length(x), method = "fmm",
xmin = min(x), xmax = max(x), xout, ties = mean)

The inputs can contain missing values which are deleted, so at least
one complete (x, y) pair is required.
If method = "fmm", the spline used is that of Forsythe, Malcolm
and Moler (an exact cubic is fitted through the four points at each
end of the data, and this is used to determine the end conditions).
Natural splines are used when method = "natural", and periodic
splines when method = "periodic".
The method "monoH.FC" computes a monotone Hermite spline
according to the method of Fritsch and Carlson. It does so by
determining slopes such that the Hermite spline, determined by
(x[i],y[i],m[i]), is monotone (increasing or
decreasing) iff the data are.
Method "hyman" computes a monotone cubic spline using
Hyman filtering of an method = "fmm" fit for strictly monotonic
inputs.
These interpolation splines can also be used for extrapolation, that is
prediction at points outside the range of x. Extrapolation
makes little sense for method = "fmm"; for natural splines it
is linear using the slope of the interpolating curve at the nearest
data point.
spline returns a list containing components x and
y which give the ordinates where interpolation took place and
the interpolated values.
splinefun returns a function with formal arguments x and
deriv, the latter defaulting to zero. This function
can be used to evaluate the interpolating cubic spline
(deriv = 0), or its derivatives (deriv = 1, 2, 3) at the
points x, where the spline function interpolates the data
points originally specified. It uses data stored in its environment
when it was created, the details of which are subject to change.
The value returned by splinefun contains references to the code
in the current version of R: it is not intended to be saved and
loaded into a different R session. This is safer in R >= 3.0.0.

That package also generates spline bases that can be used for
regression splines.
