minimaxEval function

Evaluate Minimax Approximation

Evaluates the rational or polynomial approximation stored in mmA at x. UTF-8

minimaxEval(x, mmA, basis = "Chebyshev")

Arguments

• x: a numeric vector
• mmA: a "minimaxApprox" return object
• basis: character; Which polynomial basis to use in to evaluate the function; see minimaxApprox for more details. If Chebyshev is requested but the analysis used only monomials, the calculation will proceed using the monomials with a message. The default is "Chebyshev", and the parameter is case-insensitive and may be abbreviated.

Details

This is a convenience function to evaluate the approximation at x.

Returns

A vector of the same length as x containing the approximated values.

apErr <- abs(exp(x) - minimaxEval(x, mmA))
all.equal(max(apErr), mmA$ExpErr)

# Plot results
