Hi, I was going through the examples in smartpred. It seems there's an unstated dependency on the fitted() function in package flexmix. n = 20 set.seed(86) x = sort(runif(n)) y = sort(runif(n)) library(splines) fit = lm(y ~ ns(x, df=5)) plot(x, y) lines(x, fitted(fit)) # won't work w/o prior loading of the flexmix package. newx = seq(...

Dear Everybody, Version 0.5 of the smart prediction library smartpred is now available. The smartpred library consists of some modified existing and new functions to fix a problem relating to the modelling functions lm and glm. The modified versions now remember the "parameters" of special smartened functions (bs, ns, scale and poly are supplied). We call...

I am fitting a regression model with a bs term and then making predictions based on the model. According to some info on the internet at http://www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~yee/smartpred/DummiesGuide.txt there are some problems with using predict.lm when you have a model with terms such as bs,ns,or poly. However when I used one of the examples they said would illustrate the problems I get virtually the same results using the standard predict function and "safe prediction&quot...

...would have the same problem. So I have three linked questions -- answering any of the three would set my mind at ease. (1) is it possible to make predict.gls friendlier to my model structure? (2) Is it possible to get the "varIdent" into lm or ols from Design? (3) is Yee's "smartpred" package, last updated for R 1.7, reliable for current R? Thanks!
