similar to: update.packages() for R 2.7.1: mgcv fails

Greetings, I am learning R My machine has these; CPU: 3cores amd64 OS pure-64bit CBLFS liux compiled from sources (kernel 3.2.1, gcc-4.6.2 R-2.15 When I compiled R the compiler spewed out lines like these:- make[3]: Entering directory `/tmp/RtmpiHdDJy/R.INSTALL472339eeb23a/mgcv/src' gcc -m64 -std=gnu99 -I/home/Rman/R-2.15.0/include -DNDEBUG - I/usr/local/atlas/include

Hello, After reinstalling the whole OS and R as well, I tried to update.packages() and get the follwing error message: concerning the mgcv update: atlas2-base is installed and blas as well (on debian). I haven't found lf77blas, I assume it's a library or something similar associated with blas. any suggestion how to solve that, thanks Martin * Installing *source* package

Updating my 1.8.0 R installation (>update.packages() ) I obtain the following (SORRY FOR THE LENGTH OF THE LOG BUT IT HELPS!!!): ................ downloaded 135Kb KernSmooth : Version 2.22-11 in /usr/lib/R/library Version 2.22-12 on CRAN Update (y/N)? y mgcv : Version 0.9-3.1 in /usr/lib/R/library Version 0.9-6 on CRAN Update (y/N)? y trying URL

Greetings I run into a compilation error when updating to mgcv_1.1-7 in R 2.0.0 on OS X 10.3. Note that other pacakges have compiled nicely. Some details are given below, but in short it looks like it's seeking for /usr/local/lib/powerpc-apple-darwin6.8/3.4.2/ which I don't have. But I do have /usr/lib/gcc/darwin/3.3 i.e a lower version of GCC in a different directory. More

hi Using a ts or tprs basis, I expected gcv to decrease when increasing the basis dimension, as I thought this would minimise gcv over a larger subspace. But gcv increased. Here's an example. thanks for any comments. greg #simulate some data set.seed(0) x1<-runif(500) x2<-rnorm(500) x3<-rpois(500,3) d<-runif(500) linp<--1+x1+0.5*x2+0.3*exp(-2*d)*sin(10*d)*x3

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

Hello -- I am trying to compile R-2.9.2 on IBM Power5 machine with AIX 5.3. I have posted three previous posts. Over time I have made significant progress towards getting a successful build. I am now getting the following error: ========================================================== begin installing recommended package mgcv * Installing *source* package 'mgcv' ... ** libs gmake[2]:

Hi, I've been using gamm4 to build GAMMs for exploring environmental influences on genetic ancestry. Things have gone well and I have 2 very straightforward questions: 1. I've used method=REML. Am I correct that this is an alternative method for estimating the smooth functions in GAMMs rather than GCV that is often used for GAMs? I've read up on REML and it makes sense, but I'm

I am using gam in mgcv (1.3-22) and trying to use gcv to help with model selection. However, I'm a little confused by the process of assessing GCV scores based on their magnitude (or on relative changes in magnitude). Differences in GCV scores often seem "obvious" with my poisson gams but with negative binomial, the decision seems less clear. My data represent a similar pattern as

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

Hi, In the help files in the ?mgcv package for the gam.control() function, there is an option irls.reg. The help files describe this option as: For most models this should be 0. The iteratively re-weighted least squares method by which GAMs are fitted can fail to converge in some circumstances. For example, data with many zeroes can cause problems in a model with a log link, because a mean of

Hi, I need further help with my GAMs. Most models I test are very obviously non-linear. Yet, to be on the safe side, I report the significance of the smooth (default output of mgcv's summary.gam) and confirm it deviates significantly from linearity. I do the latter by fitting a second model where the same predictor is entered without the s(), and then use anova.gam to compare the

Hello All, I'm getting this error (Version: 1.9.0-1 on a debian system) > update.packages("mgcv") trying URL `ftp://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/cran/src/contrib/PACKAGES' ftp data connection made, file length 169516 bytes opened URL .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... ..........

I have 11 possible predictor variables and use them to model quite a few target variables. In search for a consistent manner and possibly non-manual manner to identify the significant predictor vars out of the eleven I thought the option "select=T" might do. Example: (here only 4 pedictors) first is vanilla with "select=F" >

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)

Hello veeryone, I nedd some help here. The problem is I was trying to install R on my Irix system, with little success: I got the following ugly error messages: watch out: begin installing recommended package mgcv Cannot create directory "": No such file or directory * Installing *source* package 'mgcv' ... ** libs gmake[3]: Entering directory

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

Dear listers, I'm using gam(from mgcv) for semi-parametric regression on small and noisy datasets(10 to 200 observations), and facing a problem of overfitting. According to the book(Simon N. Wood / Generalized Additive Models: An Introduction with R), it is suggested to avoid overfitting by inflating the effective degrees of freedom in GCV evaluation with increased "gamma"

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

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
