detrend: Projection of a model matrix on to the orthogonal complement of a trend or curvature.

Description

The columns of a model matrix M is projected on the orthogonal complement to the matrix (1,t), resp. (1,t,t^2).

Orthogonality is defined w.r.t. an inner product defined by the matrix diag(weight).

Usage

detrend( M, t, weight = rep(1, nrow(M)) )
  decurve( M, t, weight = rep(1, nrow(M)) )

Arguments

M

A model matrix.

t

The trend defining a subspace. A numerical vector of length nrow(M)

weight

Weights defining the inner product of vectors x and y as sum(x*w*y). A numerical vector of length nrow(M), defaults to a vector of 1s. Must be all non-negative.

Value

A full-rank matrix with columns orthogonal to (1,t), for decurv, (1,t,t^2).

Details

The functions are intended to be used in parametrization of age-period-cohort models.
