dim1_spline
determines a cubic spline , defined in the range , which interpolates (passes exactly through) the set of data points , for , where and . Unlike some other spline interpolation algorithms, derivative end conditions are not imposed. The spline interpolant chosen has interior knots , which are set to the values of respectively. This spline is represented in its B-spline form (see Cox (1975)):where denotes the normalized B-spline of degree , defined upon the knots , and denotes its coefficient, whose value is to be determined by the function.
The use of B-splines requires eight additional knots , , , , , , and to be specified;
dim1_spline
sets the first four of these to and the last four to .The algorithm for determining the coefficients is as described in Cox (1975) except that factorization is used instead of decomposition. The implementation of the algorithm involves setting up appropriate information for the related function
fit.dim1_spline_knots
followed by a call of that function. (Seefit.dim1_spline_knots
for further details.)Values of the spline interpolant, or of its derivatives or definite integral, can subsequently be computed as detailed in Further Comments.
