\title{
  Values of Basis Functions or their Derivatives
}
\description{
  A set of basis functions are evaluated at a vector of argument values.
  If a linear differential object is provided, the  values are the
  result of applying the the operator to each basis function.
}
\usage{
eval.basis(evalarg, basisobj, Lfdobj=0, returnMatrix=FALSE)
\method{predict}{basisfd}(object, newdata=NULL, Lfdobj=0,
                          returnMatrix=FALSE, ...)
}
\arguments{
  \item{evalarg, newdata}{
    a vector of argument values at which the basis functiona is to be
    evaluated.
  }
  \item{basisobj}{
    a basis object defining basis functions whose values
    are to be computed.
  }
  \item{Lfdobj}{
    either a nonnegative integer or a linear differential.
    operator object.
  }
  \item{object}{
    an object of class \code{basisfd}
  }
  \item{\dots}{
    optional arguments for \code{predict}, not currently used
  }
  \item{returnMatrix}{
    logical:  If TRUE,  a two-dimensional is returned using a
    special class from the Matrix package.
  }
}
\details{
  If a linear differential operator object is supplied, the basis must
  be such that the highest order derivative can be computed. If a
  B-spline basis is used, for example, its order must be one larger than
  the highest order of derivative required.
}
\value{
  a matrix of basis function values with rows corresponding
  to argument values and columns to basis functions.

  \code{predict.basisfd} is a convenience wrapper for
  \code{eval.basis}.
