Hello group!
Is there a package that allows to fit smooth *periodic* splines to
data? I'm interested in a function which combines the functionality of
smooth.spline and splines::periodicSpline.
I don't know one, but you could use the same technique that
periodicSpline uses: repeat a copy of the data to the left and right of
the main copy (similarly replicating the knots if you want regression
splines rather than smoothing splines), then fit to the augmented
dataset. I don't think it is guaranteed to be exactly periodic, but it
will be very close.
There is also the "periodic" option to splinefun and you might be able
to use it to construct a true periodic basis, but you'll have to work
out some tricky details to get that right.
