- dt
A data.frame containing the discrete data.
For each functional variable, a single column,
whose name is provided in the argument variables,
contains discrete values of that variable for all functional observation.
The column indicated by the argument id
denotes which is the functional observation in each row.
The column indicated by the argument arg
gives the argument value at which
the discrete values of the functional variables are observed for each row.
- domain
A numeric vector of length 2 defining
the interval over which the functional data object
can be evaluated.
- arg
A character variable, which is the name of
the column of the data frame dt
giving the argument values at which the functional variables
are evaluated for each row.
- id
A character variable indicating
which is the functional observation in each row.
- variables
A vector of characters of the column names
of the data frame dt
indicating the functional variables.
- n_basis
An integer variable specifying the number of basis functions;
default value is 30.
See details on basis functions.
- n_order
An integer specifying the order of b-splines,
which is one higher than their degree.
The default of 4 gives cubic splines.
- basisobj
An object of class basisfd defining
the basis function expansion.
Default is NULL, which means that
a basisfd object is created by doing
create.bspline.basis(rangeval = domain,
nbasis = n_basis, norder = n_order)
- Lfdobj
An object of class Lfd defining a
linear differential operator of order m.
It is used to specify a roughness penalty through fdPar.
Alternatively, a nonnegative integer
specifying the order m can be given and is
passed as Lfdobj argument to the function fdPar,
which indicates that the derivative of order m is penalized.
Default value is 2, which means that the
integrated squared second derivative is penalized.
- lambda
A non-negative real number.
If you want to use a single specified smoothing parameter
for all functional data objects in the dataset,
this argument is passed to the function fda::fdPar.
Default value is NULL, in this case the smoothing parameter is chosen
by minimizing the generalized cross-validation (GCV)
criterion over the grid of values given by the argument.
See details on how smoothing parameters work.
- lambda_grid
A vector of non-negative real numbers.
If lambda is provided as a single number, this argument is ignored.
If lambda is NULL, then this provides the grid of values
over which the optimal smoothing parameter is
searched. Default value is 10^seq(-10,1,l=20).
- ncores
If you want parallelization, give the number of cores/threads
to be used when doing GCV separately on all observations.
