(y = polyval(p,x) returns the value of a polynomial of degree n evaluated at x. The input argument p is a vector of length n+1 whose elements are the

Hi everybody! I'm looking some way to do in R a polynomial fit, say like polyfit function of Octave/MATLAB. For who don't know, c = polyfit(x,y,m) finds the coefficients of a polynomial p(x) of degree m that fits the data, p(x[i]) to y[i], in a least squares sense. The result c is a vector of length m+1 containing the polynomial coefficients in descending powers: p(x) = c[1]*x^n +

Try something like: install.packages("polynom") library(polynom) predict(polynomial(rev(p)), x) HTH, Andy > From: McClatchie, Sam (PIRSA-SARDI) > > > Background: > > OS: Linux Mandrake 9.1 > > release: R 1.9.0 > > editor: Xemacs 21.4 > > frontend: ESS 5.1.23 > > --------------------------------- > > > > Colleagues > >
