splines2 0.4.7

CRAN release: 2023-01-14

Minor changes

  • Adjusted the column arrangement of the natural cubic spline basis matrix so that it matches with the equations given in the JDS paper: issue 17.

splines2 0.4.6

CRAN release: 2022-08-15

New features

  • Added update() methods to produce new spline basis functions based on the given object with specified updates in terms of degree and knots, etc.

Minor changes

  • Appended a new class named splines2 to the output matrices to simplify some common S3 methods.

splines2 0.4.5

CRAN release: 2021-09-19

Minor changes

  • Improved the computational efficiency of finding the knot intervals for x (by replacing the naive binary search implementation with std::upper_bound and std::distance).

splines2 0.4.4

CRAN release: 2021-08-16

New features

Minor changes

  • Made the internal checking procedure more strict to throw an error if any internal knots are placed at or outside boundary: issue 5.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed the predict() method for cSpline objects when scale = FALSE.

splines2 0.4.3

CRAN release: 2021-04-21

New features

  • Enabled extended knot sequence that allows multiplicity of internal knots for B-splines, M-splines, I-splines, and C-splines in the C++ interface.
  • Added type conversion to BernsteinPoly and PeriodicMSpline objects to the C++ interface.

Minor changes

  • Added testing examples for constructing spline basis functions via the C++ interface.

splines2 0.4.2

CRAN release: 2021-02-21

New features

  • Added knots() methods to extract internal knots and boundary knots from a given splines2 object.

Major changes

  • Updated the generation of the knot sequence for periodic M-splines following Piegl and Tiller (1997), which relaxed the previous requirement that length(knots) >= degree to length(knots) >= degree - 1.

splines2 0.3.1

CRAN release: 2020-07-14

Minor changes

  • Modified testing examples for CRAN tests on r-patched-solaris-x86 and r-oldrel-macos-x86_64.

CRAN release: 2020-07-09

New features

  • Added function bernsteinPoly() providing implementation of generalized Bernstein polynomials.
  • Added C++ interface that can be easily integrated with Rcpp.

Major changes

  • Changed most implementations from R to C++ with help of Rcpp and RcppArmadillo to boost the performance.

  • Made piece-wise constant basis functions continuous at right boundary knot for consistency with spline basis matrix of non-zero degrees.
  • Changed the default value of argument intercept in function iSpline() and cSpline() to TRUE for a complete set of spline basis functions in shape-restricted regression.
