Here, each knorki is either a knot sequence, or a positive integer specifying the polynomial order used in the ith variable. The method involves cluster analysis, that is, grouping the crude data into clusters and seed points are the limites of each cluster. Interpolation is a technique for adding new data points within a range of a set of known data points. If the resulting smoothing spline, sp, is to be evaluated outside its basic interval, it should be replaced by fnxtrsp,m to ensure that its mth derivative is zero outside that interval.

You can access all spline functions from the splinetool gui.
The cubic spline curve p 1 goes through all the data points, but is not quite as smooth. The default is linear interpolation, but there are other types available, such as. This command is essentially the matlab function spline, which, in turn, is a strippeddown version of the fortran routine cubspl in pgs, except that csapi and now also spline accepts vectorvalued data and can handle gridded data.
