Documentation for splines could be improved

1 次查看(过去 30 天)
Hi
this is more a request/proposal than a question. It turned out yesterday when I asked about natural spline, that natural splines, as John pointed out, are supported by matlab, howver the documentation is not very helpful.
Natural splines are the first to be mentioned in many textbook, so help spline should say a word about it, it should also provide a link to csape, but it provides a link to splines, which provides then information about csape, but this is not enough. Maybe somebody of the Mathwork teams reads this and take notice.
thanks

I do admit this is only my opinion. And, yes, one could add a line or two indicating where one might find a natural spline. It would not hurt, especially if a note of caution was added in the same spot. I'm a bit gun shy, mainly due to det and inv (both of these tools do have some valid uses.) I honestly don't think that Cleve (and company) envisioned the many problems novices would have over the years, just because they find det so easily. Even more people never notice a problem, blithely using the wrong tool.

"especially if a note of caution was added in the same spot"
The warnings (help and mlint) do not stop beginners using inv though.

At the bottom of the help, when it asks "Was this topic helpful?" click NO and fill out the form. I know for a fact that actual real live people read what you submit.
