Subject: st: -mkspline- reference
Can anyone point me to a reference for -mkspline- ?
I mean, ideally, a published article or book that describes in
software-independent terms (so that statisticians who do not know
Stata will understand) exactly the algorithm and/or formula that the
Stata programmers implemented when they wrote -mkspline-.
I apologize if the answer is in [R] Stata Reference Manual. I do not
own that book.
