Ispline: Transform data using I-splines

Description

Evaluates the I-splines for all variables of a data frame, as performed in Zeta.msgdm.

Usage

Ispline(dat, order.ispline = 2, kn.ispline = 1, rescale = 0)

Arguments

dat

A data frame whose columns are variables to be transformed using I-splines.

order.ispline

Order of the I-spline.

kn.ispline

Number of knots in the I-spline.

rescale

Indicates how to rescale the values between 0 and 1. Default is 0, which divides the data by the maximum value. Any other value corresponds to setting the minimum value to 0.

Value

Ispline returns a data frame with the same number of rows as dat and

ncol(dat) * (order.ispline + kn.ispline) columns.
