similar to: smooth.spline() unique 'x' values error

Dear list, if I do smooth.spline(tmpSec, tmpT, all.knots=T) with the attached data, I get this error-message: Error in smooth.spline(tmpSec, tmpT, all.knots = T) : smoothing parameter value too small If I do smooth.spline(tmpSec[-single arbitrary number], tmpT[-single arbitrary number], all.knots=T) it works! I just don't see it. It works for hundrets other datasets, but not for

Hi, I just installed version 2.11.1 on my Mac OS X 10.5.2. When I try running R from my xterm, I get the following error: Error in loadNamespace(name) : there is no package called 'lme4' Fatal error: unable to restore saved data in .RData I am returned to the terminal prompt and can not run R. I can open this version of R from the R console and tried installing the lme4 source

I have noticed a slightly puzzling behaviour exhibited by smooth.spline(). If I do sss <- smooth.spline(x,y) for a certain pair of data vectors x and y, and then do length(sss$x) I get the result ``18''. However if I do length(unique(x)) I get ``27''. Trying to force smooth.spline() to use more knots I tried sss <- smooth.spline(x,y,all.knots=TRUE) but again

Is there any way to identify or infer the inflection points in a smooth spline object? I am doing a comparison of various methods of time-series analysis (polynomial regression, spline smoothing, recursive partitioning) and I am specifically interested in obtaining the julian dates associated with the inflection points inferred by the various models. Tyler e.g.

I'm using R 1.7.0 on linux. With this version of R the package modreg is automatically loaded at start of session. However attempting to use predict.smooth.spline() produces Error: couldn't find function predict.smooth.spline. The function smooth.spline() is OK. What am I missing? ====================================== I.White ICAPB, University of Edinburgh Ashworth Laboratories, West

Hi, I want to use the result from smooth.spline outside R. I take my data ,which is 180 point stored in x and y s <- smooth(x,y) I can know use to e.g. find the interpolated value at e.g. x=500 predict (s,500) My problem is, that i don't know how to implement the predict function. I have looked at literature, but i cannot connect the output of the smooth.spline() to an actual spline

Hi, I have three original curves as follows, n<-seq(20,200,by=10) t<-c(0.1138, 0.1639, 0.2051, 0.2473, 0.2890, 0.3304, 0.3827, 0.4075, 0.4618, 0.4944, 0.5209, 0.5562, 0.5935, 0.6197, 0.6523, 0.6771, 0.6984, 0.7209, 0.7453) es<-c(0.3682, 0.4268, 0.5585, 0.6095, 0.7023, 0.7534, 0.8225, 0.8471, 0.8964, 0.9098, 0.9371, 0.9514, 0.9685, 0.9747, 0.9812, 0.9859, 0.9905, 0.9923, 0.9940)

I like what smooth.spline does but I am unclear on the output. I can see from the documentation that there are fit.coef but I am unclear what those coeficients are applied to.With spline I understand the "noraml" coefficients applied to a cubic polynomial. But these coefficients I am not sure how to interpret. If I had a description of the algorithm maybe I could figure it out but as it

Hi, forget about the below details. It is not related to the fact that the function is returned from a function. Sorry about that. I've been troubleshooting soo much I've been shoting over the target. Here is a much smaller reproducible example: x <- 1:10 y <- 1:10 + rnorm(length(x)) sp <- smooth.spline(x=x, y=y) ypred <- predict(sp$fit, x) # [1] 2.325181 2.756166 ...

Hello I have installed R-0.90.1 on my Linux (Redhat 6.2) machine, unfortunately I am not able to use a number of commands like e.g. smooth.spline and predict.smooth.spline. The error messages being given by is: Error: Object "smooth.spline" not found With the command library() I have checked or the libraries for the smoothing functions are there, as shown below. -------- >

I use smooth.spline(x, y) in package modreg and I would like to get value of penalized log likelihood and preferable also its two parts. To make clear what I am asking for (and make sure that I am asking for the right thing) I clarify my problem trying to use the same notation as in help(smooth.spline): I want to find the natural cubic spline f(x) such that L(f) = \sum_{k=1}{n} w[k](y[k] -

I have some data fit to a smooth.spline object as follows: (x=vector of data for the predictor variable, y=vector of data for the response variable) fit <- smooth.spline(x,y) Now, given a spline fit point y_new, I want to be able to find out what value of x_new yielded this fit value. How to do so? (This problem is the inverse of the predict.smooth.spline function, which takes x_new as input

Hello All I have a very long vector of unique predictor values and 6 significant digits setting for the smooth.spline rounds them off. Is there any way of increasing the significant digits withour recompiling a lot if code (simple editing and tham sourcing of "smooth.spline.r" function does not work, probably due to presence of Fortan functional calls)? Thank you very much in advance

Hello, I've noticed that SPLUS seems to have a function for evaluating derivative matrices of splines. I've found the R function that evaluates matrices from 'smooth.spline'; maybe someone has written something to do the same with smooth.basis? regards, s

Can anyone tell me the trick for obtaining the smoother matrix from smooth.spline when there are non-unique values for x. I have the following code but, of course, it only works when all values of x are unique. ## get the smoother matrix (x having unique values smooth.matrix = function(x, df){ n = length(x); A = matrix(0, n, n); for(i in 1:n){ y = rep(0, n); y[i]=1; yi =

Can someone please show me how to smooth time series data that I have in the form of a zoo object? I have a monthly economies series and all I really need is to see a less jagged line when I plot it. If I do something like s <- smooth.spline(d.zoo$Y, spar = 0.2) plot(predict(s,index(d.zoo)), xlab = "Year") # not defined for Date objects and if I do something like

Hey, R-listers I was recommended to try using smooth.spline function for estimating 2-Dimensinal curve given a data set. So will you please tell me where to get this R function? Or which package provides this function? Thanks for your point. Fred

Hello, I administer a student (Windows based) computer lab, which has R installed. I want to permit students to install R packages, but of course they don't have write permission to R root folder. Following FAQ suggestion, I've set up a folder that they can write to, and set the R_LIB parameter on the shortcut to this folder. So far, so good - they can now install packages.

I've had a play with this and, due to my own short-comings, remain none the wiser. In particular, I'm not sure what value of 'spar' is consistent with the magic lambda=1/1600 for quarterly data. I initially interpreted spar as lambda and tried setting spar=1/1600. This results in almost no smoothing while spar=1600 causes an error. The smooth.spline function seems to want
