Evaluate Monomial Basis

DESCRIPTION:

Computes the values of the powers of argument t.

USAGE:

monomial(evalarg, exponents=1:nbasis, nderiv=0)

REQUIRED ARGUMENTS:

evalarg
a vector of argument values.

OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS:

exponents
a vector of nonnegative integer values specifying the powers to be computed.
nderiv
a nonnegative integer specifying the order of derivative to be evaluated.

VALUE:

a matrix of values of basis functions. Rows correspond to argument values and columns to basis functions.

SEE ALSO:

polynom, power, expon, fourier, polyg, bsplineS

EXAMPLES:

# set up a monomial basis for the first five powers
nbasis   <- 5
basisobj <- create.monomial.basis(c(-1,1),nbasis)
#  evaluate the basis
tval <- seq(-1,1,0.1)
basismat <- monomial(tval, basisobj)
