Would the unique quadratic defined by the three points be the same curve as the curve predicted by a quadratic B-spline (fit to all of the data) through those same three points? Jim On 7/19/05, Duncan Murdoch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 7/19/2005 3:34 PM, James McDermott wrote: >

[R] Taking the derivative of a quadratic B-spline

2005-07-19 Thread James McDermott
Hello, I have been trying to take the derivative of a quadratic B-spline obtained by using the COBS library. What I would like to do is similar to what one can do by using fit<-smooth.spline(cdf) xx<-seq(-10,10,.1) predict(fit, xx, deriv = 1) The goal is to fit the spline to data that is approx
