make_knots function

Create a vector of knots for splines

This function creates a knot vector for splines. The knots are distributed according to a beta distribution. The first input defines the number of inner knots. The total number of knots is n + 2 * order.

make_knots(n, mu = 0.5, sig = 1, nonc = 0, tailw = 1, deg = 1)

Arguments

• n: Number of knots
• mu: Beta distribution location parameter
• sig: Beta distribution scale parameter
• nonc: Beta distribution noncentrality parameter
• tailw: Tailweight
• deg: Degree of splines
