R: Define a Bivariate Functional Parameter Object

bifdPar {fda} | R Documentation

## Define a Bivariate Functional Parameter Object

### Description

Functional parameter objects are used as arguments to functions that estimate functional parameters, such as smoothing functions like `smooth.basis`. A bivariate functional parameter object supplies the analogous information required for smoothing bivariate data using a bivariate functional data object $x(s,t)$. The arguments are the same as those for `fdPar` objects, except that two linear differential operator objects and two smoothing parameters must be applied, each pair corresponding to one of the arguments $s$ and $t$ of the bivariate functional data object.

### Usage

    bifdPar(bifdobj, Lfdobjs=int2Lfd(2), Lfdobjt=int2Lfd(2), lambdas=0, lambdat=0,
          estimate=TRUE)

### Arguments

`bifdobj` | a bivariate functional data object.
`Lfdobjs` | either a nonnegative integer or a linear differential operator object for the first argument $s$. If `NULL`, Lfdobjs depends on bifdobj[['sbasis']][['type']]: bspline Lfdobjs <- int2Lfd(max(0, norder-2)), where norder = norder(bifdobj[['sbasis']]). fourier Lfdobjs = a harmonic acceleration operator: `Lfdobj <- vec2Lfd(c(0,(2*pi/diff(rngs))^2,0), rngs)` where rngs = bifdobj[['sbasis']][['rangeval']]. anything elseLfdobj <- int2Lfd(0)
`Lfdobjt` | either a nonnegative integer or a linear differential operator object for the first argument $t$. If `NULL`, Lfdobjt depends on bifdobj[['tbasis']][['type']]: bspline Lfdobj <- int2Lfd(max(0, norder-2)), where norder = norder(bifdobj[['tbasis']]). fourier Lfdobj = a harmonic acceleration operator: `Lfdobj <- vec2Lfd(c(0,(2*pi/diff(rngt))^2,0), rngt)` where rngt = bifdobj[['tbasis']][['rangeval']]. anything elseLfdobj <- int2Lfd(0)
`lambdas` | a nonnegative real number specifying the amount of smoothing to be applied to the estimated functional parameter $x(s,t)$ as a function of $s$..
`lambdat` | a nonnegative real number specifying the amount of smoothing to be applied to the estimated functional parameter $x(s,t)$ as a function of $t$..
`estimate` | not currently used.

### Value

a bivariate functional parameter object (i.e., an object of class `bifdPar`), which is a list with the following components:

`bifd` | a functional data object (i.e., with class `bifd`)
`Lfdobjs` | a linear differential operator object (i.e., with class `Lfdobjs`)
`Lfdobjt` | a linear differential operator object (i.e., with class `Lfdobjt`)
`lambdas` | a nonnegative real number
`lambdat` | a nonnegative real number
`estimate` | not currently used
