Re: [R] Fitting Distributions Directly From a Histogram

2006-06-19 Thread Myers, Brent
I'm desperately uninformed about the methods you have been discussing, but for a non-parametric solution, how about splines? Carl DeBoor (1978) outlines a method of area preserving quadratic splines to fit histograms. All you need to know is the value each bar represents and its interval. I am

[R] Splines?

2006-05-10 Thread Myers, Brent
I think I have a spline problem, and I would like to implement the solution in S. There are a lot of spline algorithms and I am looking for some direction on what is most appropriate. I need a spline that can be made to extrapolate certain data points as described below. Of course it needs to
