splines - How to make the result of Piecewise be a closed interval?


Description


This question comes from two questions. Namely Q1 and Q2


The defintion of B-Spline basis function as shown below:


Let $\vec{U}=\{u_0,u_1,\ldots,u_m\}$ a nondecreasing sequence of real numbers,i.e, $u_i\leq u_{i+1}\quad i=0,1,2\ldots m-1$


$$N_{i,0}(u)= \begin{cases} 1 & u_i\leq u

  NBSpline[i_Integer, 0, knots_?(VectorQ[#, NumericQ] && OrderedQ[#] &),u_] /;
   i <= Length[knots] - 2 :=

   Piecewise[
    {{1, knots[[i + 1]] <= u < knots[[i + 2]]}},0]

  coeff[u_, i_, j_, knots_] /; knots[[i]] == knots[[j]] := 0;
  coeff[u_, i_, j_, knots_] := (u - knots[[i]])/(knots[[j]] - knots[[i]])

  NBSpline[i_Integer, p_Integer, knots_?(VectorQ[#, NumericQ] && OrderedQ[#] &), 
    u_] /;p > 0 && i + p <= Length[knots] - 2 :=
   Module[{init, res},
    init = Table[NBSpline[j, 0, knots, u], {j, i, i + p}];

    res = First@
    Nest[
     Dot @@@
      (Thread@
        {Partition[#, 2, 1],
         With[{m = p + 2 - Length@#},
          Table[
           {coeff[u, k + 1, k + m + 1, knots],
            coeff[u, k + m + 2, k + 2, knots]}, {k, i, i + Length@# - 2}]]}) &,
    init, p]

  ]

Compare to built-in function BSplineBasis


 sortResult[x_ /; x == 0] := 0;
 sortResult[res_] := MapAt[SortBy[#, Last] &, res, 1]

 pts = {{0, 0}, {0, 2}, {2, 3}, {4, 0}, {6, 3}, {8, 2}, {8, 0}};
 knots = {0, 0, 0, 1/5, 2/5, 3/5, 4/5, 1, 1, 1};

Comparsion 1



 NBSpline[#, 0, knots, u] & /@ Range[0, 8] // Simplify


enter image description here



 PiecewiseExpand@BSplineBasis[{0, knots}, #, u] & /@ Range[0, 8]


enter image description here




Comparsion 2


sortResult /@ (NBSpline[#, 1, knots, u] & /@ Range[0, 7] // Simplify)


enter image description here



sortResult /@ (PiecewiseExpand@BSplineBasis[{1, knots}, #, u] & /@ 
Range[0, 7] // Simplify)



enter image description here




By the comparsion, I found that the result of BSplineBasis is always a closed interval, whereas the result my function NBSpline is a half closed- half open interval.


My trail:


postProcess[res_ /; res == 0] := 0;

postProcess[res_] :=
 Module[{interval, pos, expr},
  interval =

   First@Simplify@res;
  pos =
   Position[
   SortBy[interval, Last], Less];
  expr =
   ReplacePart[
    SortBy[interval, Last], pos[[-1]] -> LessEqual];
  Piecewise[expr, 0]
]


Test


 postProcess /@ (NBSpline[#, 1, knots, u] & /@ Range[0, 7])

Question:


Is there any good/simple method(strategy) to deal with this problem? I think my method is complex.

Answer



a fix, specially treating the end interval:


 NBSpline[i_Integer, 0, knots_?(VectorQ[#, NumericQ] && OrderedQ[#] &),
      u_] /; i <= Length[knots] - 2 := (
   If[ knots[[i + 2]] != knots[[-1]],
       Piecewise[{{1, knots[[i + 1]] <= u < knots[[i + 2]]}}, 0],
       Piecewise[{{1, knots[[i + 1]] <= u <= knots[[i + 2]]}}, 0] ]);
 coeff[u_, i_, j_, knots_] /; knots[[i]] == knots[[j]] := 0;
 coeff[u_, i_, j_, knots_] := (u - knots[[i]])/(knots[[j]] - knots[[i]])

 NBSpline[i_Integer, p_Integer, 
      knots_?(VectorQ[#, NumericQ] && OrderedQ[#] &), u_] /; 
           p > 0 && i + p <= Length[knots] - 2 := 
 Module[{init, res}, 
      init = Table[NBSpline[j, 0, knots, u], {j, i, i + p}];
      res = First@
      Nest[Dot @@@ (Thread@{Partition[#, 2, 1], 
          With[{m = p + 2 - Length@#}, 
              Table[{coeff[u, k + 1, k + m + 1, knots], 
              coeff[u, k + m + 2, k + 2, knots]}, {k, i, 

                  i + Length@# - 2}]]}) &, init, p]]
  pts = {{1/10, 2/10}, {0, 2}, {2, 3}, {4, 0}, {6, 3}, {8, 2}, {8, 0}};
  knots = {0, 0, 0, 1/5, 2/5, 3/5, 4/5, 1, 1, 1};
  BSplinePlot1[pts : {{_, _} ..}, knots_, opts : OptionsPattern[Plot]] :=
  Module[{p = Length@First@Split[knots] - 1, a, b},
        {a, b} = {First[knots], Last[knots]};
    f[u_] = 
        Evaluate@
           Simplify@
               Total@MapIndexed[NBSpline[First@#2 - 1, p, knots, u] #1 &, 

                      pts] /. x_Piecewise :> Piecewise[x[[1]], Null];
    ParametricPlot[f[u], {u, a, b}, opts, PlotPoints -> 1000]]
    BSplinePlot1[pts, knots, ImageSize -> 600]

this bit: /. x_Piecewise :> Piecewise[x[[1]], Null] fixes the catchall behavior of Piecewise so you will get an error if you try to evaluate out of bounds. (not necessary for this example )


here is f[u] , note that we have closed just the end interval..

note as a practical matter @belisarius approach works as well, so long as you apply at the last stage:


 f[u_] = Evaluate@
          Simplify@

             Total@MapIndexed[NBSpline[First@#2 - 1, p, knots, u] #1 &, 
                pts] /. Less :> LessEqual /. x_Piecewise :> Piecewise[x[[1]], Null]

enter image description here


since the function is continuous it doesn't really matter if you close all the internal intervals.

plotting - Plot 4D data with color as 4th dimension

I have a list of 4D data (x position, y position, amplitude, wavelength). I want to plot x, y, and amplitude on a 3D plot and have the color of the points correspond to the wavelength. I have seen many examples using functions to define color but my wavelength cannot be expressed by an analytic function. Is there a simple way to do this? Answer Here a another possible way to visualize 4D data: data = Flatten[Table[{x, y, x^2 + y^2, Sin[x - y]}, {x, -Pi, Pi,Pi/10}, {y,-Pi,Pi, Pi/10}], 1]; You can use the function Point along with VertexColors . Now the points are places using the first three elements and the color is determined by the fourth. In this case I used Hue, but you can use whatever you prefer. Graphics3D[ Point[data[[All, 1 ;; 3]], VertexColors -> Hue /@ data[[All, 4]]], Axes -> True, BoxRatios -> {1, 1, 1/GoldenRatio}]

plotting - Filling between two spheres in SphericalPlot3D

Manipulate[ SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, Mesh -> None, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], {n, 0, 1}] I cant' seem to be able to make a filling between two spheres. I've already tried the obvious Filling -> {1 -> {2}} but Mathematica doesn't seem to like that option. Is there any easy way around this or ... Answer There is no built-in filling in SphericalPlot3D . One option is to use ParametricPlot3D to draw the surfaces between the two shells: Manipulate[ Show[SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], ParametricPlot3D[{ r {Sin[t] Cos[1.5 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[1.5 Pi], Cos[t]}, r {Sin[t] Cos[0 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[0 Pi], Cos[t]}}, {r, 1, 2 - n}, {t, 0, Pi}, PlotStyle -> Yellow, Mesh -> {2, 15}]], {n, 0, 1}]

plotting - Mathematica: 3D plot based on combined 2D graphs

I have several sigmoidal fits to 3 different datasets, with mean fit predictions plus the 95% confidence limits (not symmetrical around the mean) and the actual data. I would now like to show these different 2D plots projected in 3D as in but then using proper perspective. In the link here they give some solutions to combine the plots using isometric perspective, but I would like to use proper 3 point perspective. Any thoughts? Also any way to show the mean points per time point for each series plus or minus the standard error on the mean would be cool too, either using points+vertical bars, or using spheres plus tubes. Below are some test data and the fit function I am using. Note that I am working on a logit(proportion) scale and that the final vertical scale is Log10(percentage). (* some test data *) data = Table[Null, {i, 4}]; data[[1]] = {{1, -5.8}, {2, -5.4}, {3, -0.8}, {4, -0.2}, {5, 4.6}, {1, -6.4}, {2, -5.6}, {3, -0.7}, {4, 0.04}, {5, 1.0}, {1, -6.8}, {2, -4.7}, {3, -1....
