similar to: gamm (mgcv) interaction with linear term

Dear R users, I am trying to use "gamm" from package "mgcv" to model results from a mesocosm experiment. My model is of type M1 <- gamm(Resp ~ s(Day, k=8) + s(Day, by=C, k=8) + Flow + offset(LogVol), data=MyResp, correlation = corAR1(form= ~ Day|Mesocosm), family=poisson(link=log)) where the response variable is counts, offset by the

Dear All, Would anyone happen to have tips on how to do a pseudo-additive seasonal decomposition in R? I am working on a ca. 20 year monthly time series on species abundance data, with annual peaks of varying magnitude and zero abundances between the seasonal occurrences. I have tried to use the package "x12", which utilizes x12arima, but without luck so far. More specifically, I am

I am having difficulty fitting a mgcv::gamm model that includes both a random smooth term (i.e. 'fs' smooth) and autoregressive errors. Standard smooth terms with a factor interaction using the 'by=' option work fine. Both on my actual data and a toy example (below) I am getting the same error so am inclined to wonder if this is either a bug or a model that gamm is simply unable

In the summary of the gam object produced by gamm, the "Approximate significance of smooth terms" appears to be a test of the improvement in fit over a linear model, rather than a test of the significance of the overall effect of x on y: test.gamm<-gamm(y~te(x, bs="cr"), random=list(grp=~1)) summary(test.gamm$gam) . . . Approximate significance of smooth terms:

Dear R-users, To obtain the percentage of deviance explained when fitting a gam model using the mgcv library is straightforward: summary(object.gam) $dev.expl or alternatively, using the deviance (deviance(object.gam)) of the null and the fitted models, and then using 1 minus the quotient of deviances. However, when a gamm (generalizad aditive mixed model) is fitted, the

Hi I am an engineer and am running the package mgcv and specifically the command gamm (generalized additive mixed modelling), with random effects. i have a few queries: 1. When I run the command with 1000/2000 observations, it runs ok. However, I would like to see the results as in vis.gam command in the same package, with the 3-d visuals. It appears no such option is available for gamm in the

Hi all, I would like to fit a gamm model of the form: Y~X+X*f(z) Where f is the smooth function and With random effects on X and on the intercept. So, I try to write it like this: gam.lme<- gamm(Y~ s(z, by=X) +X, random=list(groups=pdDiag(~1+X)) ) but I get the error message : Error in MEestimate(lmeSt, grps) : Singularity in backsolve at level 0, block 1

Hello:I run a gamm with following call :mode<-gamm(A~B,random=list(ID=~1),family=gaussian,na.action=na.omit,data=rs)an error happened:ERROR names(object$sp) <- names(G$sp) : attempt to set an attribute on NULLwith mgcv version 1.7-3What so? How can I correct the Error? Thanks very much for any help. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello, I have two gamm question (I am using gamm in mgcv). 1. In have, say 5 time series. Monthly data, 20 year. The 5 time series are from 5 stations. The data are in vectors, so I have fitted something along the lines of: tmp<-gamm(Y ~ s(Year,by=station1)+s(Year,by=station2)+ s(Year,by=station3)+s(Year,by=station4)+

Dear all, I run a gamm with following call : result <- try(gamm(values~ s( VM )+s( RH )+s( TT )+s( PP )+RF+weekend+s(day)+s(julday) ,correlation=corCAR1(form=~ day|month ),data=tmp) )" with mgcv version 1.6.2 No stress about the data, the error is not data-related. I get : Error in isS4(x) : object 'VM' not found What so? I did define the dataframe to be used, and the

Dear useRs, I am using the gamm function in the mgcv package to model a smooth relationship between a covariate and my dependent variable, while allowing for quantification of the subjectwise variability in the smooths. What I would like to do is to make subjectwise predictions for plotting purposes which account for the random smooth components of the fit. An example. (sessionInfo() is at

Dear all, I am using the "mgcv" package by Simon Wood to estimate an additive mixed model in which I assume normal distribution for the residuals. I would like to test this model vs a standard parametric mixed model, such as the ones which are possible to estimate with "lme". Since the smoothing splines can be written as random effects, is it correct to use an (approximate)

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

I want to use gamm to generate smoothed trend line for three groups identified by dummy variable genea and geneb. My question is how to add in an interaction term between the time and another dummy variable such as gender? fitm<-gamm(change_gfr~ genea+geneb+s(timea_n,bs="ps")+s(timeb_n,bs="ps")+s(timec_n,bs="ps"),data=mm,random=list(time_n=~1|PID)) -- View this

Hi list, I'm working with gamm models of this sort, using Simon Wood's mgcv library: gm<- gamm(Z~te(x,y),data=DATA,random=list(Group=~1)) gm1<-gamm(Z~te(x,y,by=Factor)+Factor,data=DATA,random=list(Group=~1)) with a dataset of about 70000 rows and 110 levels for Group in order to test whether tensor product smooths vary across factor levels. I was wondering if comparing those two

Dear R-helpers, I'd like to understand how to test the statistical significance of a random effect in gamm. I am using gamm because I want to test a model with an AR(1) error structure, and it is my understanding neither gam nor gamm4 will do the latter. The data set includes nine short interrupted time series (single case designs in education, sometimes called N-of-1 trials in medicine)

Dear All, I have a query relating to the use of the ?predict? and ?gamm? functions. I am dealing with large (approx. 5000) sets of presence/absence data, which I am trying to model as a function of different of environmental covariates. Ideally my models should include individual and colony as random factors. I have been trying to fit binomial models using the gamm function to achieve this. For

Hello, I am having some difficulty converting my gam code to a correct gamm code, and I'm really hoping someone will be able to help me. I was previously using this script for my overdispersed gam data: M30 <-gam(efuscus~s(mic, k=7) +temp +s(date)+s(For3k, k=7) + pressure+ humidity, family=negbin(c(1,10)), data=efuscus) My gam.check gave me the attached result. In order to

Hello, I have a response variable that is a time series of 0's and 1's. And a couple of continous explanatory variables. I would like to fit a gamm with auto-correlation and binomial distribution using gamm in mgcv. Something simple like: tmp<-gamm(y ~ s(x), correlation=corAR1(), binomial) However, I read in various messages on this newsgroup that glmmPQL (used

Hi, I have confirmed temporal correlation problems in my data. Is there a possibility to use corCompSymm for a gamm()? I am an R-beginner. I have very short time series. There are three years and within each year, there are 10 weeks. he 10 weeks are the same every year and have not unique values, I seem not to be able to use AR-1 (I assume that I have too little data for autoregression
