knots.fd: Extract the knots from a function basis or data object

In fda: Functional Data Analysis

Description

Extract either all or only the interior knots from an object of class basisfd, fd, or fdSmooth.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'fd'
knots(Fn, interior=TRUE, ...)
## S3 method for class 'fdSmooth'
knots(Fn, interior=TRUE, ...)
## S3 method for class 'basisfd'
knots(Fn, interior=TRUE, ...)

Arguments

Fn	an object of class basisfd or containing such an object
interior	logical: if TRUE, Fn[["params"]] are returned. Else, nord <- norder(Fn); rng <- Fn[['rangeval']]; return c(rep(rng[1], nord), Fn[["params"]], rep(rng[2], nord))
...	ignored

Details

The interior knots of a bspline basis are stored in the params component. The remaining knots are in the rangeval component, with multiplicity norder(Fn).

Value

Numeric vector. If 'interior' is TRUE, this is the params component of the bspline basis. Otherwise, params is bracketed by rep(rangeval, norder(basisfd).
