similar to: Difference between ~lp() or simply ~ in R's locfit?

I'm using the package 'locfit' for nonparametric regression. This package contains the function 'scb' to compute simultaneous confidence bands. The variance of the data is unknown. Up to now I compute a fit with 'locfit'. Afterwards an estimate of the residual variance is computed by the function 'rv'. The weights in the 'scb'-function are set 1/sigma^2

I am trying to reproduce Figure 10.5 of Loader's book: Local Regression and Likelihood. The code provided in the book does not seem to work. I have managed (a while ago) to get the accompanied R-code for the figures in the book (file called lffigs.R) from somewhere - cannot find it on the web anymore. The code in the .R script file does not work either. Could anybody please direct me in

Apologies for the coming to this late... 1. By now I hope Somkiat has realized that R-bugs is not the place to report problems in contributed packages. Please direct such reports to the package maintainer. 2. This is really user error. predict() expect the newdata to be a data frame containing variables with the same names as those used in the fitting process. E.g., you fitted the model with

I was wondering if someone could help me with a problem getting locfit running. I am running Digital Unix 3.2D on an alphastation, with R 0.61.1 I downloaded the CRAN distribution of locfit. I had no problems installing it with R INSTALL (I installed it into my library rather than the default base library; the output is attached at the end of this email message). I then tried to test it with the

The version of locfit on the web site mentioned apparently has been revised by Prof. Loader, and is newer than the CRAN version that I have been maintaining. If Prof. Loader is OK with it, I will take a look and see if I can get the new version into CRAN-conforming form and upload to CRAN. Meanwhile, make sure you're using the package from Prof. Loader's web page, instead of the one on

Hello!!! Thank you all for your suggestion on my last question about locfit. Now I have another question: I would like to change the evalution structure ev in locfit() to a vector/matrix. I created a vector and a matrix: > vec <- mat.or.vec(101, 1) > vec <- c(0:100) > mat <- matrix(data = vec, nrow = 101, ncol = 1) and I tried to change the ev parameter: > fit <-

I have a dataset of pregnancy values for multiple years (and ages, not included) with missing years. I would like to use local polynomial regression to smooth the values and estimate for the missing years. I would also like to use GCV to justify the smoothing parameter selection. When using locfit() with lp() I found that the gcvplot function does not work as it is looking for an alpha value to

Hello! I am having a problem understanding what the weights option in the locfit command of the locfit package is doing. I have written a sample program which illustrates the issue (below). The example involves using bootstrap however, that is not my main goal but it illustrates where my problem lies. As you know, to compute a bootstrap estimate of a particular quantity using a sample size of

Hi, I?m trying to combine the Locfit Package with the Mgcv package (to use Generalized Additive Models with Locfit components). I read the book written by Clive Loader where it?s said that, for the S language, you just have to "load" the locfit package using the command : Library(locfit, first="T") in order to use locfit components in an additive model. But I can?t. I guess

Hi All, In another thread Andy Liaw, who CRAN lists as locfit maintainer; said: <quote> From: "Liaw, Andy" <andy_liaw at merck.com> To: "Guy Green" <guygreen at netvigator.com>; <r-help at r-project.org> Subject: Re: Alternatives to linear regression with multiple variables Date: 22 February 2010 17:50 You can try the locfit package, which I believe

Hello, Here is a problem I have had trying to install locfit, the package for R. I have already contacted Clive Loader who thinks the problem has more to do with R than locfit, so here is the point : The version of R I am currently running is R-base-0.90 that I installed using the R-base-0.90.1-1.i386.rpm package. I dowloaded the locfit package available at the CRAN site and ran : R INSTALL

Dear lists: I could not calculate what is wrong with my installing. Could you help me to find the solution? Thanks. Following are the installing screen massages: install.packages("demography") 将程序包安装入‘/home/zzk/R/i686-pc-linux-gnu-library/2.12’ (因为‘lib’没有被指定) --- 在此連線階段时请选用CRAN的鏡子 --- 载入Tcl/Tk接口... 完成 also installing the dependencies ‘akima’, ‘rgl’, ‘misc3d’, ‘quadprog’, ‘zoo’, ‘locfit’,

Hi list, This was asked a couple of years ago but I can't find a resolution. Is there any way to get the coefficients from one of the local polynomial fits in locfit. I realize that locfit only constructs polynomials at a handful of intelligently selected points and uses interpolation to predict any other points. I would like to know the terms of the polynomials at these points. It seems

Dear, I am doing some statistics analysis using R software. I am currently trying to implement your library locfit. I am using Win NT and R1.1.1 version obtained on the following Webmaster : http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/ms/departments/sia/project/locfit/index.html When trying to run it, the following message appears: ********** Error in .C("guessnv", nvm = integer(1), ncm =

The locfit library is now available through CRAN, in the Contributed R Code directory. Locfit fits local regression, likelihood and density estimation models, in the spirit of loess but with many additional features. To install, unpack the locfit_19980309.tar.gz file, and R INSTALL locfit Most of the functionality and examples on my home page http://cm.bell-labs.com/stat/project/locfit/ should

Hello all! I have recently started using the LOCFIT package, together with Clive Loader's book. I need to implement some method for automatic (plug-in) bandwidth selection in a multivariate kernel regression. From the book, and the LOCFIT documentation, it is not clear whether this is possible. As far as I can see, the only time the various automated procedures, e.g., SJPI, are used is in

Dear R users, i am using locfit package developed by loader in R software, my problem is that as i am doing independont forecast using locfit object , i am able to do independont forecast for more than one years simultaniously. But when i am doing one year forecast(single) this code is giving following error... "Warning message: 'newdata' had 1 rows but variable(s) found have 24

Hello!!! I'm just a beginner of R. I work with locfit to get the density from an numeric vector. It looks good when I plot the graph, but I need the output data of locfit. For example I need somthing like that (only integer values for the input): numeric vector (input of locfit) density (output of locfit) 1 0.05.... 2 0.04.. 3 0.01 ... Thank you for your help and your time.
