evaldiag.bifd: Evaluate the Diagonal of a Bivariate Functional Data Object
Description
Bivariate function data objects are functions of
two arguments, $f(s,t)$. It can be useful to evaluate
the function for argument values satisying $s=t$, such
as evaluating the univariate variance function given the
bivariate function that defines the variance-covariance
function or surface. A linear differential operator can
be applied to function $f(s,t)$ considered as a univariate
function of either object holding the other object fixed.
