xyVector {splines} | R Documentation |
Create an object to represent a set of x-y pairs. The resulting
object can be treated as a matrix or as a data frame or as a vector.
When treated as a vector it reduces to the y
component only.
The result of functions such as predict.spline
is returned as
an xyVector
object so the x-values used to generate the
y-positions are retained, say for purposes of generating plots.
