Function vanderMonde() generates Vandermonde matrices, the hyperSpec method generates a hyperSpec object containing the Vandermonde matrix of the wavelengths of a hyperSpec object.

vanderMonde(x, order, ...)

# S4 method for hyperSpec
vanderMonde(x, order, ..., normalize.wl = normalize01)

## Arguments

x

object to evaluate the polynomial on

order

of the polynomial

...

hyperSpec method: further arguments to decomposition()

normalize.wl

function to transform the wavelengths before evaluating the polynomial (or other function). normalize01() maps the wavelength range to the interval [0, 1]. Use base::I() to turn off.

## Value

Vandermonde matrix hyperSpec method: hyperSpec object containing Vandermonde matrix as spectra and an additional column \$.vdm.order giving the order of each spectrum (term).

## Details

It is often numerically preferable to map wl(x) to [0, 1], see the example.

wl_eval() for calculating arbitrary functions of the wavelength
