how lambda is computed in smoot.spline given _df_
...the smooth.spline function (which I repreat at the bottom of the mail) given _df_ .
Unfortunately the documentation is not clear to me. Maybee someone can help to answer in my view the basic question:
If the penalized log likelihood is L = (y - f)' W (y - f) + lambda c' Sigma c
how the _lambda_ in the above equation is computed if _df_ is given and _spar_ not?
And, Is there a way to define lambda directly?
Yours.

Hi,
I am usign the smooth.spline function.
I am not sure how the _df_ (degrees of freedom) parameter,
if set, influences _lambda_ in eq:
L = (y - f)' W (y - f) +...
