Hello, I don't understand what went wrong or how to fix this. How do I set qr=TRUE for gam? When I produce a fit using gam like this: fit = gam(y~s(x),data=as.data.frame(l_yx),family=family,control = list(keepData=T)) ...then try to use predict: (see #1 below in the traceback() ) > traceback() 6: stop("lm object does not have a proper 'qr' component.\n Rank zero or should

Hello, How do I plot a gam fit object on probability (Y axis) vs raw values (X axis) axis and include the confidence plot lines? Details... I'm using the gam function like this: l_yx[,2] = log(l_yx[,2] + .0004) fit <- gam(y~s(x),data=as.data.frame(l_yx),family=binomial) And I want to plot it so that probability is on the Y axis and values are on the X axis (i.e. I don't want log

Dear users, I am trying to show the equation (including coefficients from the model estimates) for a gam model but do not understand how to. Slide 7 from one of the authors presentations (gam-theory.pdf URL: http://people.bath.ac.uk/sw283/mgcv/) shows a general equation log{E(yi )} = ?+ ?xi + f (zi ) . What I would like to do is put my model coefficients and present the equation used. I am an

Hello evyrone, I would be grateful if you could help me in (I hope) simple problem. I fit a gam model (from mgcv package) with several smooth functions . I don't know how to extract values of just one smooth function. Can you please help me in this? Kind regards, Daniel Rabczenko

Dear List, I'm using GAMs in a multiple imputation project, and I want to be able to combine the parameter estimates and covariance matrices from each completed dataset's fitted model in the end. In order to do this, I need the knots to be uniform for each model with partially-imputed data. I want to specify these knots based on the quantiles of the unique values of the non-missing

Dear R-users: Im trying (using gam package) to develop a stepwise analysis. My gam object contains five pedictor variables (a,b,c,d,e,f). I define the step.gam: step.gam(gamobject, scope=list("a"= ~s(a,4), "b"= ~s(b,4), "c"= ~s(c,4), "d"= ~s(d,4), "e"= ~s(e,4), "f"= ~s(f,4))) However, the result shows a formula containing the whole

Hi, I'm running gam (mgcv version 1.3-29) and glm (logit) (stats R 2.61) on the same models/data, and I got error messages for the gam() model and warnings for the glm() model. R-help suggested that the glm() warning messages are due to the model perfectly predicting binary output. Perhaps the model overfits the data? I inspected my data and it was not immediately obvious to me (though I

Qusetion #1 ********* Model selection in GAM can be done by using: 1. step.gam {gam} : A directional stepwise search 2. gam {mgcv} : Smoothness estimation using GCV or UBRE/AIC criterion Suppose my model starts with a additive model (linear part + spline part). Using gam() {mgcv} i got estimated degrees of freedom(edf) for the smoothing splines. Now I want to use the functional form of my model

I'm fitting a Poisson gam model, say model<-gam(a65tm~as.factor(day.week )+as.factor(week)+offset(log(pop65))+s(time,k=10,bs="cr",fx=FALSE,by=NA,m=1),sp=c( 0.001),data=dati1,family=poisson) Currently I've difficulties in obtaining right predictions by using gam.predict function with MGCV package in R version 2.2.1 (see below my syntax).

Sometimes, for specific models, I get this error from predict.gam in library mgcv: Error in complete.cases(object) : negative length vectors are not allowed Here's an example: model.calibrate <- gam(meansalesw ~ s(tscore,bs="cs",k=4), data=toplot, weights=weight, gam.method="perf.magic") > test <- predict(model.calibrate,newdata) Error in

Dear all, I run the GAMs (generalized additive models) in gam(mgcv) using the following codes. m.gam <-gam(mark~s(x)+s(y)+s(lstday2004)+s(ndvi2004)+s(slope)+s(elevation)+disbinary,family=binomial(logit),data=point) And two repeated warnings appeared. Warnings$B!'(B 1: In gam.fit(G, family = G$family, control = control, gamma = gamma, ... : Algorithm did not converge 2: In gam.fit(G,

Hello everyone. I am doing a logistic gam (package mgcv) on a pretty large dataframe (130.000 cases with 100 variables). Because of that, the gam is fitted on a random subset of 10000. Now when I want to predict the values for the rest of the data, I get the following error: > gam.basis_alleakti.1.pr=predict(gam.basis_alleakti.1, +

In Dr. Wood's book on GAM, he suggests in section 4.1.6 that it might be useful to shrink a single smooth by adding S=S+epsilon*I to the penalty matrix S. The context was the need to be able to shrink the term to zero if appropriate. I'd like to do this in order to shrink the coefficients towards zero (irrespective of the penalty for "wiggliness") - but not necessarily all the

Hello, I am trying to update the mgcv package on my Linux box and I keep getting an "Out of memory!" error. Does anyone know of a fix for this? Below is a snippet of the message that I keep getting: Thank you.

Hi, I am using the gam function in the mgcv package, I have random effects in my model (bs="re") this has worked fine, but after I updated the mgcv package to version 1.7-19 I recive an error message when I run the model. > fit1<-gam(IV~s(RUTE,bs="re")+s(T13)+s(H40)+factor(AAR)+s(V3)+s(G1)+s(H1)+s(V1)+factor(LEDD),data=data5,method="ML") > summary.gam(fit1)

Dear all, I'm trying to fit a pure additive model of the following formula : fit <- gam(y~x1+te(x2, x3, bs="cr")) ,with the smoothing parameter estimation method "magic"(default). Regarding this, I have two questions : Question 1 : In some cases the value of "mgcv.conv$fully.converged" becomes "FALSE", which tells me that the method stopped with a

Hi everyone, I can't figure out how to extract by-factor random effect adjustments from a gam model (mgcv package). Example (from ?gam.vcomp): library(mgcv) set.seed(3) dat <- gamSim(1,n=400,dist="normal",scale=2) a <- factor(sample(1:10,400,replace=TRUE)) b <- factor(sample(1:7,400,replace=TRUE)) Xa <- model.matrix(~a-1) ## random main effects Xb <-

Dear list, I fitted the same GAM model using directly the function gam(mgcv) ... then as a parameter of another function that capture the warnings messages (see below). In the first case, there is no warning message printed, but in the last one, the function find two warning messages stating "matrix not positive definite" So my question is: Do I have to worry about those warnings and

Hi all, My question concerns 2 error messages; one in the gam package and one in the mgcv package (see below). I have read help files and Chambers and Hastie book but am failing to understand how I can solve this problem. Could you please tell me what I must adjust so that the command does not generate error message? I am trying to achieve model selection for a GAM which is required for

Hi R-users, I'm using R 2.11.1, mgcv 1.6-2 to fit a generalized additive mixed model. I'm new to this package...and just got more and more problems... 1. Can I include correlation and/or random effect into gam( ) also? or only gamm( ) could be used? 2. I want to estimate the smoothing function s(x) under each level of treatment. i.e. different s(x) in each level of treatment. shall I
