Evaluate a predefined spline basis at given values.

"predict"(object, newx, ...)
"predict"(object, newx, ...)

Arguments

object
the result of a call to bs or ns having attributes describing knots, degree, etc.
newx
the x values at which evaluations are required.
...
Optional additional arguments. At present no additional arguments are used.

Examples

Run this code
require(stats)
basis <- ns(women$height, df = 5)
newX <- seq(58, 72, length.out = 51)
# evaluate the basis at the new data
predict(basis, newX)
