\title{Calculate number of knots to use in spline smoothing}
\usage{
cutpoint_knots(data, x)
}
\arguments{
\item{data}{A data frame}

\item{x}{(character) The name of the predictor variable}
}
\description{
This function calculates the number of knots
when using smoothing splines for smoothing a function of metric values per
cutpoint value. The function for calculating the number of knots is equal
to \code{stats::.nknots_smspl} but uses the number of unique cutpoints
in the data as n.
