comparative density estimates
..., bw="sj", adjust=1) d2 <- density(sub2, from=1500, to=1990, bw="sj", adjust=1) the second to d1 <- density(sub1, from=1500, to=1990, bw="sj", adjust=2.5) d2 <- density(sub2, from=1500, to=1990, bw="sj", adjust=0.75) The second graph seems to me to undersmooth the more extensive data from Europe and undersmooth the data from North America. - any comments or suggestions? - are there other methods I should consider? I did find overlap.Density() in the DAAG package, but perversely, it uses a bw= argument to select a B&W/grayscale plot. thanks, -Mich...

partially linear models
Hey, I am estiamting a partially linear model y=X\beta+f(\theta) where the f(\theta) is estiamted using wavelets. Has anyone heard of methods to test if the betas are significant or to address model fit? Thanks for any thoughts or comments.

cubic spline smoother with heterogeneous variance.
Hello. I want to estimate the predicted values and standard errors of Y=f(t) and its first derivative at each unique value of t using the smooth.spline function. However, the data (plant growth as a function of time) show substantial heterogeneity of variance since the variance of plant mass increases over time. What is the consequence of such heterogeneity of variance in terms of bias in the

mgcv: how select significant predictor vars when using gam(...select=TRUE) using automatic optimization
I have 11 possible predictor variables and use them to model quite a few target variables. In search for a consistent manner and possibly non-manual manner to identify the significant predictor vars out of the eleven I thought the option "select=T" might do. Example: (here only 4 pedictors) first is vanilla with "select=F" >
