Dear list, I have a big deal concerning the development of a Taylor expansion.
require(Matrix) e1 <- as.vector(1:5) e2 <- as.vector(6:10) in order to obtain all the combinations between these two vectors following a Taylor expansion (or more simply through a Maclaurin series) for real numbers. We have f(x) = f(0) + f'(0)(x-0) + f''(0)(x-0)^2/2! + … + f^(k)(0)(x-0)^k/k! with f(x) = e1 + e2 for Taylor expansion (r = 1) + 1/2!*e1^2 + 1/2!*e2^2 + 1/2!*e1*e2 for Taylor expansion (r = 2) excluding e2*e1 + 1/3!*e1^3 + 1/3!*e1^2*e2 + 1/3!*e2^2*e1 + 1/3!*e2^3 for Taylor expansion (r = 3) excluding e2*e1^2 and e1*e2^2 ... I already write the number of possible combinations as : x <- as.vector(0) for (r in 1:r){x[r] <- 2*(sum(choose(2*q+r-1,r))-sum(choose(q+r-1,r)))}# q: number of lag of e1 and e2; r: order of taylor expansion nstar <- sum(x) # N* number of total combinations How to write f(x) in a general framework? Quid of this framework when e1 and e2 are completed with their lags if q > 1? Your help or advice would be greatly appreciated Bilel -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/RE-taylor-expansions-with-real-vectors-tp4636886.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
