Orthogonal Spline Design Matrix


Description

Orthogonal Spline Design Matrix

Usage

spl(x,  k=10, knots=NULL, type="LRTP")

Arguments

x

a numeric covariate

k

integer, defines knot points at the 1:k/(k+1) quantiles of x

knots

vector of knot points

type

type of spline - currently only low-rank thin-plate ("LRTP") are implemented

Value

Design matrix post-multiplied by the inverse square root of the penalty matrix
