fda (version 6.2.0)

as.fd: Convert a spline object to class 'fd'

Description

Translate a spline object of another class into the Functional Data (class fd) format.

Usage

as.fd(x, ...)
# S3 method for fdSmooth
as.fd(x, ...)
# S3 method for function
as.fd(x, ...)
# S3 method for smooth.spline
as.fd(x, ...)

Arguments

x

an object to be converted to class fd.

...

optional arguments passed to specific methods, currently unused.

Author

Spencer Graves

Details

The behavior depends on the class and nature of x.

as.fd.fdSmooth

extract the fd component

as.fd.function

Create an fd object from a function of the form created by splinefun. This will translate method = 'fmn' and 'natural' but not 'periodic': 'fmn' splines are isomorphic to standard B-splines with coincident boundary knots, which is the basis produced by create.bspline.basis. 'natural' splines occupy a subspace of this space, with the restriction that the second derivative at the end points is zero (as noted in the Wikipedia spline article). 'periodic' splines do not use coincident boundary knots and are not currently supported in fda; instead, fda uses finite Fourier bases for periodic phenomena.

as.fd.smooth.spline

Create an fd object from a smooth.spline object.
