fitLS

Fitting splines with penalized least squares.


Description

Estimates the control vector for a spline fit by penalized least squares. The penalty being the penalty parameter times the functional inner product of the second derivative of the spline curve.

Usage

fitLS(object, x, y, penalty = 0)

Arguments

object

The SplineBasis object ot be used to make the fit

x

predictor variable.

y

response variable.

penalty

The penalty multiplier.

Details

For numeric vector y, and x, and a set of basis functions, represented in object, defined on the knots (k_0,…,k_m). The likelihood is defined by

sum_i (y_i-b(x_i)mu) + integral mu^T b''(t)^T b''(t) mu dt

The fucntion estimates μ.

Value

a vector of the control points.
