R help - Jul 2012 - npindex: fitted values of the function itself?

Dear list, 

I am using the np package. With the npindex function I estimate a
semiparametric single index model using the method of Klein-Spady.

P(Z=1|X) = G(X?b)

I don?t have any problems to calculated the fitted values and standard
errors X?b: 

bw = npindexbw(xdat=x, ydat=y_bi, method="kleinspady", nmulti=2)
model = npindex(bws= bw3, gradients= TRUE, residuals = TRUE, boot.num = 50)
x_fit = predict(model, se.fit = TRUE)
x_fit_bi= x_fit$fit
x_fit_bi_se = x_fit$se.fit

However, I also would like to obtain an estimate of G(X?b). For example,
after estimating a probit model, it would simply be 
G_hat=pnorm(x_fit)

Any help would be very much appreciated!

Dear list, 

I realized my mistake! 

For those who are interested: what I predicted was in fact G*(X'b*): A
single-index model assumes a linear index function for which I obtain the
estimated coefficients b*.  The predicted probabilities are then G*(X'b*). 

Indeed, this is equivalent to the probit case, where I only need
"G_hat=pnorm(x_fit) " if x_fit is the linear prediction. 

Best, 
Kristin
