Describing the problem - Linear Example
We could describe the profile by the linear function \(0.5+z\).
linear_profiles |>
transform(linear_mid_points = c(0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9)) |>
transform(profile_aprox = 0.5 + linear_mid_points)
## profiles linear_mid_points profile_aprox
## (0,0.2] 0.6 0.1 0.6
## (0.2,0.4] 0.8 0.3 0.8
## (0.4,0.6] 1.0 0.5 1.0
## (0.6,0.8] 1.2 0.7 1.2
## (0.8,1] 1.4 0.9 1.4
