| periodicSpline {splines} | R Documentation | 
Create a periodic interpolation spline, either from x and
y vectors, or from a formula/data.frame combination.
periodicSpline(obj1, obj2, knots, period = 2*pi, ord = 4)
obj1 | 
either a numeric vector of x values or a formula. | 
obj2 | 
if obj1 is numeric this should be a numeric vector
of the same length.  If obj1 is a formula this can be an
optional data frame in which to evaluate the names in the formula. | 
knots | 
optional numeric vector of knot positions. | 
period | 
positive numeric value giving the period for the
periodic spline.  Defaults to 2 * pi. | 
ord | 
integer giving the order of the spline, at least 2.  Defaults
to 4.  See splineOrder for a definition of the order of
a spline. | 
An object that inherits from class spline.  The object can be in
the B-spline representation, in which case it will be a
pbSpline object, or in the piecewise polynomial representation
(a ppolySpline object).
