I like what smooth.spline does but I am unclear on the output. I can see from
the documentation that there are fit.coef but I am unclear what those
coeficients are applied to.With spline I understand the "noraml"
coefficients applied to a cubic polynomial. But these coefficients I am not sure
how to interpret. If I had a description of the algorithm maybe I could figure
it out but as it is I have this question. Any help?
