Further to my last query, when fitting splines a scaling factor equal to the
average distance bewteen knot points is used to standardise the Z matrix etc
(manual p11). I fitted a model where I let asreml choose the knot points and
also where I chose the knot points. I am questioning if scaling is actually
carried out in the latter case of the user selecting the knots?
Thanks
Dave
