Dear All, I tried following for getting derivative of a polynomial in R i<- -10:10 x<-i*i*i+3*i*i+2 fun_spline<-splinefun(i,x) plot(x,type="l") lines(x,fx_spline(x, deriv=1), col='green') lines(x,fx_spline(x, deriv=2), col='green')
Now when I plot 3*i*i + 6*i and 6*i + 6 the plot was not same for first deivative. where as the 2nd derivative was same Is this a correct method for getting derivative. where am I doing wrong as first derivative lines(x,fx_spline(x, deriv=1), col='green') is not correct. amar -- Amar Kumar Nandan ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
