Abstract:

DIERCKX is a package of Fortran subroutines for calculating smoothing splines for various kinds of data and geometries, with automatic knot selection. We have created a package for accessing these functions in R. Our presentation will cover current spline implementations in R and how the new "minSpline" package extends beyond the current work.
