similar to: options()$width ignored by print.formula

Dear community, I encountered a very disturbing phenomenon today: When I try to fit any gam() with mgcv R aborts. I could not find any post regarding this in google, which mades in even more strange. I am using the latest Ubuntu, latest R and latest mgcv everything up to date. The crash occured too with the last mgcv 1.7-11. This is the output from the R shell: <pre> R version 2.14.0

Hi, I wonder if predict.gam is supposed to work with family=negbin() definition? It seems to me that the values returned by type="response" are far off the observed values. Here is an example output from the negbin examples: > set.seed(3) > n<-400 > dat<-gamSim(1,n=n) > g<-exp(dat$f/5) > dat$y<-rnbinom(g,size=3,mu=g) >

Does anybody have any suggestions on how I might simulate from fitted GAM model? I am using the gam function in the mgcv package to fit a variable coefficient model like the following from the examples. I would like simulate based on the fitted model like the simulate function in the stats package does for lm models. library(mgcv) set.seed(10) ## simulate date from y = f(x2)*x1 + error dat

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 developers I've tried this a couple of days ago on r-help, unfortunately with no feedback. Could you please take a look and confirm whether it's a bug, feature, or bad eye-sight when reading Help: Is it normal that R ignores options("width"=100) at start-up? Although liviu at debian-liv:~$ cat /usr/lib/R/etc/Rprofile.site | grep width options(width = 100) , R will

I've got a small problem. I have some observational data (environmental samples: abiotic explanatory variable and biological response) to which I've fitted both a multiple linear regression model and also a gam (mgcv) using smooths for each term. The gam clearly fits far better than the lm model based on AIC (difference in AIC ~ 8), in addition the adjusted R squared for the gam is

Hi,everyone, I am studying the generalized additive model and employ the package 'mgcv' developed by professor Wood. However,I can not understand the example listed in check.in function. For example, library(mgcv) set.seed(1) dat <- gamSim(1,n=400,scale=2) ## fit a GAM with quite low `k' b<-gam(y~s(x0,k=6)+s(x1,k=6)+s(x2,k=6)+s(x3,k=6),data=dat) plot(b,pages=1,residuals=TRUE)

Dear all, I'm using the mgcv library by Simon Wood to fit gam models with interactions and I have been reading (and running) the "factor 'by' variable example" given on the gam.models help page (see below, output from the two first models b, and b1). The example explains that both b and b1 fits are similar: "note that the preceding fit (here b) is the same as

Hi, Got my issues sorted. Error message solved: I heard from the guy who developed MuMIn and his suggestion worked. "As for the error you get, it seems you are running an old version of MuMIn. Please update the package first." I did (I was only 1 version behind in both R and in MuMIn) and error disappeared! Running quasipoisson GAM in MuMIn: As for my questions on GAM and " to

Hi, I have a GAM quasipoisson that I'd like to run through MuMIn package - dredge - gettop.models - model.avg However, I'm having no luck with script from an example in MuMIn help file. In MuMIn help they advise "include only models with smooth OR linear term (but not both) for each variable". Their example is: # Example with gam models (based on

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

I have a platform that I am targeting that has 64-bit general purpose registers but uses 32-bit pointers (ie, sizeof(void*) == 4) but unfortunately it also requires that the top 32-bits of the pointer value be clear. This sometimes becomes a problem with certain pointer calculations such as using a 32-bit negative value for indexing into an array can cause the upper bits to be set, generating

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

Dear all, I'm trying to understand how the strucchange package is working and I have been looking at the examples given for the Fstats() function. The first example (Nile), shows one peak in the F-stats and one breakpoint is estimated, that can be plotted using the following code ## Nile data with one breakpoint: the annual flows drop in 1898 ## because the first Ashwan dam was built

Hi, I have a package named like this : httpd.i386 2.0.59-1.el4s1.5.el4.c centosplus As you see, version is too long for the column width. I tried to export COLUMNS with a higher value : no change. Any idea ? -- Martin

Hi all In PHP I have a neat function: http://ch2.php.net/function.getimagesize With it I can easily determine the dimensions of an image file. How can I do that in RoR? Thanks for help. Greets, Josh -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I need to get the width of an element into a ruby variable. I have tried using various methods to call a javascript function that''s in the prototype library called getDemensions. I''m just not sure how to perform the call. document.GetElementById(id).offsetWidth works fine with and onClick event, but I need to get the width value at various time during the page load. I also
