Does anyone know if R has a function for splines under tension. I know there are numerous packages for spline interpolation within R i just can't find one that lets you determine the tension factor. Any help would be much appreciated! Sam -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Splines-under-tension-tp2173887p2173887.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at

Hello there, I am using the Tps function to fit a spline to my data which is measurements of a sedimentary layer on an xy plane to see how the thickness of the layer changes. I was wondering if it was possible to change the Tps code so that no minus values are calculated by the spline as these are obviously unfeasible. Any help would be much appreciated, Thanks, Sam -- View this message in

Hi there, I have been using the Tps function (within the Fields package) for a while now to interpolate different sedimentary units. Due to the method of formation of the units I know that at some edges the thickness of the unit decreases to zero. I was wondering if there was someway to specify that the interpolation only occurs within the convex hull of the data, outside of which the the values

Hello everyone, I have been trying to figure out away to integrate under a spline produced by the package tps(fields). As the package does not output functions I am trying to do something similar to the trapezium rule. My data are 3D (x, y & z). I have extracted from the surface output by Tps the values of z at regular intervals so that I have a grid of figures, for example: 1 4 6 6 8 8

Hi there, I have two data sets, one of locations at different elevations (x,y,z) and the other of points that make up topographic contours (also x,y,z). I have used: result<-apply(distppll(data2,cbind(topocon[-nrow(topocon),],topocon[-1,])),1,min) where 'data2' are my measurement coordinates (x, y) and 'topocon' are my topographic contours (x,y). While this gives me an output
