similar to: package loading smooth.lf (LOCFIT), couldn't find functio n "smooth.lf"

Apologies for the coming to this late... 1. By now I hope Somkiat has realized that R-bugs is not the place to report problems in contributed packages. Please direct such reports to the package maintainer. 2. This is really user error. predict() expect the newdata to be a data frame containing variables with the same names as those used in the fitting process. E.g., you fitted the model with

Hi, I'm trying to work through the examples and code in Loader's LOCAL REGRESSION AND LIKELIHOOD, and have run into a problem with the code for one sided smoothing and change point analysis (p. 110-112). The code, after loading locfit: midp<-(1945:1988)+0.5 fitl<-locfit(thickness~left(year), data=penny, alpha=c(0,10), deg=1, ev=midp)

I'm having difficulties with plot.locfit.3d, at least I think that is the problem. I have a large dataframe (about 4 MM cases) and was hoping to see a non-parametric estimate of the hazard plotted against two variables: > fit <- locfit(~surv.yr+ ur_protein + ur_creatinine, data=TRdta, cens = 1-death, family = "hazard", xlim=c(0,10)) # it took somewhere between 1 and 2

I am trying to reproduce Figure 10.5 of Loader's book: Local Regression and Likelihood. The code provided in the book does not seem to work. I have managed (a while ago) to get the accompanied R-code for the figures in the book (file called lffigs.R) from somewhere - cannot find it on the web anymore. The code in the .R script file does not work either. Could anybody please direct me in

Hi, I?m trying to combine the Locfit Package with the Mgcv package (to use Generalized Additive Models with Locfit components). I read the book written by Clive Loader where it?s said that, for the S language, you just have to "load" the locfit package using the command : Library(locfit, first="T") in order to use locfit components in an additive model. But I can?t. I guess

Hi Folks, There has been past correspondence regarding Catherine Loader's Bell Labs (oops, Lucent) paper "Fast and Accurate Computation of Binomial Probabilities" which gives the algorithm on which R's dbinom() is based. The original URL given in the R documentation "?dbinom" is: http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/ms/departments/sia/catherine/dbinom but this link is

Dear list members, I am trying to understand this output from the smoothing package locfit (1.5-4, running on R 2.8.1 on Windows Vista 64 bit). # sample code x<-1:100 y<-rnorm(100) fit<-locfit(y~x,family="gaussian") #default parameters are fine plot(fit,band="global") #plot seems "reasonable", confidence bands use a global estimate of variance

Hi list, This was asked a couple of years ago but I can't find a resolution. Is there any way to get the coefficients from one of the local polynomial fits in locfit. I realize that locfit only constructs polynomials at a handful of intelligently selected points and uses interpolation to predict any other points. I would like to know the terms of the polynomials at these points. It seems

Dear R-users, One of the main reasons I moved from GAUSS to R (as an econometrician) was because of the existence of the library LOCFIT for local polynomial regression. While doing some checking between my former `GAUSS code' and my new `R code', I came to realize LOCFIT is not quite doing what I want. I wrote the following example script:

I was wondering if someone could help me with a problem getting locfit running. I am running Digital Unix 3.2D on an alphastation, with R 0.61.1 I downloaded the CRAN distribution of locfit. I had no problems installing it with R INSTALL (I installed it into my library rather than the default base library; the output is attached at the end of this email message). I then tried to test it with the

Hello!!! Thank you all for your suggestion on my last question about locfit. Now I have another question: I would like to change the evalution structure ev in locfit() to a vector/matrix. I created a vector and a matrix: > vec <- mat.or.vec(101, 1) > vec <- c(0:100) > mat <- matrix(data = vec, nrow = 101, ncol = 1) and I tried to change the ev parameter: > fit <-

I have a dataset of pregnancy values for multiple years (and ages, not included) with missing years. I would like to use local polynomial regression to smooth the values and estimate for the missing years. I would also like to use GCV to justify the smoothing parameter selection. When using locfit() with lp() I found that the gcvplot function does not work as it is looking for an alpha value to

Hi All, In another thread Andy Liaw, who CRAN lists as locfit maintainer; said: <quote> From: "Liaw, Andy" <andy_liaw at merck.com> To: "Guy Green" <guygreen at netvigator.com>; <r-help at r-project.org> Subject: Re: Alternatives to linear regression with multiple variables Date: 22 February 2010 17:50 You can try the locfit package, which I believe

Hello! I am having a problem understanding what the weights option in the locfit command of the locfit package is doing. I have written a sample program which illustrates the issue (below). The example involves using bootstrap however, that is not my main goal but it illustrates where my problem lies. As you know, to compute a bootstrap estimate of a particular quantity using a sample size of

Hello, Here is a problem I have had trying to install locfit, the package for R. I have already contacted Clive Loader who thinks the problem has more to do with R than locfit, so here is the point : The version of R I am currently running is R-base-0.90 that I installed using the R-base-0.90.1-1.i386.rpm package. I dowloaded the locfit package available at the CRAN site and ran : R INSTALL

Dear, I am doing some statistics analysis using R software. I am currently trying to implement your library locfit. I am using Win NT and R1.1.1 version obtained on the following Webmaster : http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/ms/departments/sia/project/locfit/index.html When trying to run it, the following message appears: ********** Error in .C("guessnv", nvm = integer(1), ncm =

The locfit library is now available through CRAN, in the Contributed R Code directory. Locfit fits local regression, likelihood and density estimation models, in the spirit of loess but with many additional features. To install, unpack the locfit_19980309.tar.gz file, and R INSTALL locfit Most of the functionality and examples on my home page http://cm.bell-labs.com/stat/project/locfit/ should

Dear R users, i am using locfit package developed by loader in R software, my problem is that as i am doing independont forecast using locfit object , i am able to do independont forecast for more than one years simultaniously.
