David:

Why do you say the OP wants a 503rd or 504th degree polynomial?
He/she wants an interpolating spline.

But that is precisely what "spline()" or "splinefun()" would give him/her.

So I don't understand the problem either!!!

To the OP:

    What did you actually *do* to create your spline?
    Did you use spline() or splinefun()?  And if not, why not?

    Do read the posting guide!

    cheers,

        Rolf

What I'd like to do is get a spline through all the points.

On the face of it that seems to be an extraordinary request. So (not for the first time) I must not be understanding something. Are you really asking for assistance in constructing a 503rd or 504th degree polynomial? And if you are, then why pose the question on a statistics-oriented mailing list. We only deal in approximations to the Truth.



I'm
thinking the spline function is my best approach. But a plot of the
spline and the points shows it does not cross every one perfectly. Do
I need to specify a particular method for this, or am I using the
wrong approach? Thanks in advance! -- H
