R help - Aug 2014 - Obtaining predicted values for glm() function

Dear all.

I am trying to relate daily deaths in a given city with air pollution
values. The model I am using is as follows:

model <- glm(deaths ~ pollution + ns(time, 13) + ns(temp, 7) + ns(rh, 5) +
dow + holiday, family=quasipoisson, data=city)

Where -
deaths: daily number of deaths
pollution: daily measured levels of air pollution
ns(time, 13): smooth function (i.e. cubic spline) of time with 13 degrees
of freedom
ns(temp, 7): smooth function (i.e. cubic spline) of temperature with 7
degrees of freedom
ns(rh, 5): smooth function (i.e. cubic spline) of humidity with 5 degrees
of freedom
dow: day of the week
holiday: dummy variable to indicate public holidays

Having run this model, how do I obtain predicted values of deaths for any
given set of pollution values? Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Please don't repeat post. In fact, you should definitely read the Posting
Guide mentioned at the bottom if this or any other post from the list and follow
its advice.

The usual way to predict output of a model in R is to use the predict function
appropriate to your model object class. You might find reading the help file
?predict.glm helpful. If not, then you might be needing to study some more basic
use cases of R so you can interpret the help files.
