Hi R experts, Could you please help me to fit a linear, cubic and quadratic curve in a figure? I was trying to show all these three fitting curves with different colour in one figure. I spent substantial time to figure it out, but I could not. I have given here a example and what I did for linear, but no idea for cubic and quadratic fitting curve > dput(test) structure(list(sp = c(4L, 5L,

Hallo, I'm facing a problem and I would really appreciate your support. I have to translate some Matalb code in R that I don't know very well but I would like to. I have to interpolate 5 point with a cubic spline function and then I expect my function returns the Y value as output a specific X value inside the evaluation range. Let's suppose that: 1- *X = [-10, -5, 0, 5, 10]* 2

The following variables have the following significant relationships (x is the explanatory variable): linear, cubic, exponential, logistic. The linear relationship plots without any trouble. Cubic is the 'best' model, but it is not plotting as a smooth curve using the following code: cubic.lm<- lm(y~poly(x,3)) lines(x,predict(cubic.lm),lwd=2) How do I plot the data and the estimated

Dear all, Is the restricted cubic spline function working properly in the glm model? We used glm(y~rcs(x,5), family=binomial) but it seems that for some theoretical reasons the rcs, restricted cubic spline function can not be fitted by a glm function. Is this correct? Regards, Jan ((Originally, we used lrm(y~ rcs(x,5)) but we couldn't find how to derive the AIC value of the fitted model.

Hi, all I am trying to get the basis matrix and penalty matrix for natural cubic splines. In the "splines" package of R,"ns" can generate the B-spline basis matrix for a natural cubic spline. How can I get the basis matrix and penalty matrix for natural cubic spline. Thanks a lot! Lee [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello, I am using R and the smooth.Pspline function in the pspline package to smooth some data by using natural cubic splines. After fitting a sufficiently smooth spline using the following call: (ps=smooth.Pspline(x,y,norder=2,spar=0.8,method=1) [the values of x are age in years from 1 to 100] I tried to check that R in fact had fitted a natural cubic spline by checking that the resulting

re: Cubic splines in package "mgcv" I don't have access to Gu (2002) but clearly the function R(x,z) defined on p126 of Simon Wood's book is piecewise quartic, not piecewise cubic. Like Kunio Takezawa (below) I was puzzled by the word "cubic" on p126. As Simon Wood writes, this basis is not actually used by mgcv when specifying bs="cr". Maybe the point is

Greetings, I would like to use a cubic spline or smoother to model the fixed effects within nlme. So far the only smoother I have been able to get to run successfully in nlme is smooth(). I tried smooth.spline: fixed=list(lKa~1,lCL~smooth.spline(BSA, df=3)) the error I got was the following. Error in model.frame(formula, rownames, variables, varnames, extras, extranames, : invalid

Hello everone,            Anyone who knows how to force a cubic smoothing spline to pass through a particular point?            I found on website  someone said that we can use "cobs package" to force the spline pass through certain points or impose shape           constraints (increasing, decreasing). However,  this package is using  B-spline and can only do linear and quadratic

Hello,   does anyone have an example on how to use restricted cubic splines function rcs within survfit.cph, if cph (Cox Proportional Hazard Regression) was done with restricted cubic splines (which I made to work)? Thank you. > [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Suppose I have two var x and y,now I want to fits a natural cubic spline in x to y,at the same time create new var containing the smoothed values of y. How can I get it?

Which function implements the piecewise cubic Hermite interpolation? I am looking for equivalent of matlab's interp1 with the method = 'pchip' Here is the reference http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/techdoc/index.html?/access/helpdesk/help/techdoc/ref/interp1.html& -- View this message in context:

R-users E-mail: r-help@r-project.org My understanding is that package "mgcv" is based on "Generalized Additive Models: An Introduction with R (by Simon N. Wood)". On the page 126 of this book, eq(3.4) looks a quartic equation with respect to "x", not a cubic equation. I am wondering if all routines which uses cubic splines in mgcv are based on this quartic

(corrected version of previous posting) I fit a GAM to turtle growth data following methods in Limpus & Chaloupka 1997 (http://www.int-res.com/articles/meps/149/m149p023.pdf). I want to obtain figures similar to Fig 3 c & f in Limpus & Chaloupka (1997), which according to the figure legend are "expected size-at-age functions" obtained by numerically integrating

I have used LME to fit a mixed effects model on my data. The data has 274 subjects with 1 to 6 observations per subject. Time is not linearly associated with the outcome, so I used ns to fit a natural cubic spline with 3 auto knots. Subject and the natural cubic time of spline are both treated as random effects. This model has run without any problem, but now I would like to plot trajectories for

Hello everyone I'm trying to use Scheffe's complete cubic model (mixture design). In the bibliographies, they indicate that the term is of the type: A * B * (A-B). But I see that trying to adjust the three cubic terms results in singularities. I know this implies not having the inverse matrix: solve (t (X)% *% X) does not exist. The bibliographies show all three cubic terms. So my

Dear all, I'm attempting to plot a cubic relationship between two variables controlling for the effects of a third variable. In this short example, I'm trying to use AGE to predict CORTEX while controlling for the effects of TIV (total intracranial volume): ######################## cortex = rnorm(100, mean=0.5, sd=0.5) age = rnorm(100, mean=10, sd=2) tiv = rnorm(100, mean=1000,

I'm trying to use R to determine the quality of a cubic Bezier curve approximation of an elliptical arc. I know the four control points and I want to compute (x,y) coordinates of many points on the curve. I can't find anything in either the base distribution or CRAN that does this; all the spline-related packages seem to be about *fitting* piecewise Bezier curves to a data set.

I want to compare the fit of a quadratic model to continuous data, with that of a cubic spline fit. Is there a way of computing AIC from for e.g. a GAM with a smoothing spine, and comparing this to AIC from a quadratic model?

I have some data which consists of time series for a number of sites. It appears that there is not much autocorrelation in the data and I have fitted a cubic for each site using lm. I would like to obtain a lattice plot with one panel for each site and showing the original data, and the fitted cubic. The closest I have got to doing what I want is: fit <- fitted(paraslm1) temp <-
