a vector, matrix, or three-dimensional array of coefficients.
The first dimension of
matrices and arrays, as well as that of a vector, is corresponds to
basis functions.  The second dimension corresponds to the number of
functions or curves, or to replica

coef

a functional basis object defining the basis

basisobj

A list of length 3, each member being a string vector containing labels for the
levels of the corresponding dimension of the discrete data.  The first dimension
is for argument values, and is given the default name "time", the second is
for replications, 

fdnames

This is the constructor function for objects of the <code>fd</code> class.
Each function that sets up an object of this class must call this function.
This includes functions <code>data2fd</code>,
<code>smooth.basis</code>, <code>density.fd</code>,  and
so forth that estimate functional data objects that smooth or otherwise
represent data.  Ordinarily, user
of the functional data analysis software will not need to call this function
directly, but these notes are valuable to understanding what the "slots"
or "members" of the <code>fd</code> class are.

internal

smooth

These functions were developed to support 
   functional data analysis as described in Ramsay, J. O.
   and Silverman, B. W. (2005) Functional Data Analysis.
   New York: Springer.  They were ported from earlier
   versions in Matlab and S-PLUS.  A manual that describes
   the use of these functions is available in this
   library. The library also contains a number of the
   data sets used in the book along with R code for the
   analyses that produced many of the figures in the book.
