'my.bspline' Integrates the normal B-Spline basis to a B-spline density basis. The dimension of the basis depends on the input of number of knots 'k' and of the order of the B-spline basis 'q'. 'int.my.bspline' is a function for transformation of open B-spline basis at the boundary to become a B-spline basis density.
my.bspline(h, q, knots, y, K, plot.bsp, typ)
int.my.bspline(help.env)if equidistant knots are used (default in pencopula()), h is the distance between two neighbouring knots
selected order of the B-spline basis
selected values for the knots
values of the response variable
the number of knots for the construction of the base
Indicator variable TRUE/FALSE if the integrated B-spline basis should be plotted
typ==1 without open B-splines at the boundary typ==2 with open B-splines at the boundary
Internal environment of my.bspline().
The integrated B-Spline base of order q
The coefficients for standardization of the ordinary B-Spline basis
This return is a list. It consider of the used knots 'knots.val\$val', the help knots 'knots.val\$help' and the additional knots 'knots.val\$all', used for the construction of the base and the calculation of the distribution function of each B-Spline.
The transformed value of K, due to used order 'q' and the input of 'K'
Firstly, the function constructs the B-spline basis to the given number of knots 'K' and the given locations of the knots.
