similar to: terms.object documentation bug? (PR#8353)

i read a book from WOOD, there's an example which is talking about the pollutant. library(gamair) library(mgcv) y<-gam(death~s(time,bs="cr",k=200)+s(pm10median,bs="cr")+s(so2median,bs="cr")+s(o3median,bs="cr")+s(tmpd,bs="cr"),data=chicago,family=Possion) lag.sum<-function(a,10,11) {n<-length(a) b<-rep(0,n-11) for(i in 0:(11-10))

Hello, I have a question regarding model selection and dropping of terms for GAMs fitted with package mgcv. I am following the approach suggested in Wood (2001), Wood and Augustin (2002). I fitted a saturated model, and I find from the plots that for two of the covariates, 1. The confidence interval includes 0 almost everywhere 2. The degrees of freedom are NOT close to 1 3. The partial

Hi, all, Does anyone know how to get the functional form of the smooth terms in GAM? eg. I fit y=a+b*s(x) where s is the smooth function. After fitting this model with GAM in R, I want to know the form of the s(x). Any suggestion is appreciated. Thanks, Jin --------------------------------- Ahhh...imagining that irresistible "new car" smell?

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 all R users ! I'm using gamm function from Simon Wood's mgcv package, to fit a spatial regression Generalized Additive Mixed Model, as covariates I have the geographical longitude and latitude locations of indexed data. I include a random effect for each district (dist) so the code is fit <- gamm(y~s(lon,lat,bs="tp", m=2)+offset(log(exp.)), random=list(dist=~1),

I am a little bit confusing about the following help message on how to fit a GAM model with interaction between factor and smooth terms from http://rss.acs.unt.edu/Rdoc/library/mgcv/html/gam.models.html: ?Sometimes models of the form: E(y)=b0+f(x)z need to be estimated (where f is a smooth function, as usual.) The appropriate formula is: y~z+s(x,by=z) - the by argument ensures that the smooth

Hi, all I want to choose same knots in GAM for 10 different studies so that they has the same basis function. Even though I choose same knots and same dimensions of basis smoothing, the basis representations are still not same. My command is as follows: data.gam<-gam(y~s(age,bs='cr',k=10)+male,family=binomial,knots=list(age=seq(45,64,length=10))) What is my mistake for choice of

Reviving an old thread. I haven't noticed this be a problem for a while when saving RDS's which is great. However, I noticed the problem again when saving `qs` files (https://github.com/traversc/qs) which is an RDS replacement with a fast serialization / compression system. I'd like to get an idea of what change was made within R to address this issue for `saveRDS`. My thought is that

Can anyone tell me the trick for obtaining the smoother matrix from smooth.spline when there are non-unique values for x. I have the following code but, of course, it only works when all values of x are unique. ## get the smoother matrix (x having unique values smooth.matrix = function(x, df){ n = length(x); A = matrix(0, n, n); for(i in 1:n){ y = rep(0, n); y[i]=1; yi =

Another solution is to only save the parts of the model object that interest you. As long as they don't include the formula (which is what drags along the environment it was created in), you will save space. E.g., tfun2 <- function(subset) { junk <- 1:1e6 list(subset=subset, lm(Sepal.Length ~ Sepal.Width, data=iris, subset=subset)$coef) } saveSize(tfun2(1:4)) #[1] 152 Bill

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)

Dear everyone, I'm encountering an unknown error message when using gamm function: > fitoutput <- gamm(cvd~as.factor(dow)+pm10+s(time,bs="cr",k=15,fx=TRUE)+s(tmean,bs="cr",k=7,fx=TRUE) + ,correlation=corAR1(form=~1|city),family=poisson,random=list(city=~pm10),data=mimp) Maximum number of PQL iterations: 20 iteration 1 iteration 2 iteration 3 iteration 4

Buenas noches grupo. Saludos cordiales. He seguido en la búsqueda de una forma que me permita realizar la comparación de dos documentos pertenecientes a los años 2005 y 2013, y que pueda representar finalmente con wordcloud y con una table en la que las columnas sean los años de cada informe "2005" y "2013", y las filas sean las palabras con la frecuencia de cada una de ellas

Hi, Currently the `gaussian' family's initialization code signals an error if any response data are zero or negative and a log link is used. Given that zero or negative response data are perfectly legitimate under the GLM fitted using `gaussian("log")', this seems a bit unsatisfactory. Might it be worth changing it? The current offending code from `gaussian' is:

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

x <- NA na.act <- na.action(na.exclude(x)) y <- rep(0,0) naresid(na.act,y) ... currently produces the result... numeric(0) ... whereas the documentation might lead you to expect NA The behaviour is caused by the line if (length(x) == 0L) return(x) in `stats:::naresid.exclude'. Removing this line results in the behaviour I'd expected in the above example (and in a

For summary(GAM) in the mgcv package smooth the degrees of freedom for the F value for test of smooth terms are the rank of covariance matrix of \hat{beta} and the residuals df. I've noticed that in a lot of GAMs I've fit the rank of the covariance turns out to be 9. In Simon Wood's book, the rank of covariance matrix is usually either 9 or 99 (pages 239-230 and 259). Can anyone

R-users E-mail: r-help@r-project.org My understanding is that package "mgcv" is based on "Generalized Additive Models: An Introduction with R (by Simon N. Wood)". On the page 126 of this book, eq(3.4) looks a quartic equation with respect to "x", not a cubic equation. I am wondering if all routines which uses cubic splines in mgcv are based on this quartic

Dear list, I do apologize if these are basic questions. I am fitting some GAM models using the mgcv package and following the model selection criteria proposed by Wood and Augustin (2002, Ecol. Model. 157, p. 157-177). One criterion to decide if a term should be dropped from a model is if the estimated degrees of freedom (EDF) for the term are close to their lower limit. What would be the
