similar to: GAM with Thin plate splines

Hi Does someone knows if there's a function/package that can make thin plate splines ? I've looked in mgcv and splines but I haven't found anything.

Hi, I am using GAMs (package mgcv) to smooth event rates in a penalized regression setting and I was wondering if/how one can select the order of the derivative penalty. For my particular problem the order of the penalty (parameter "m" inside the "s" terms of the formula argument) appears to have a larger effect on the AIC/deviance of the estimated model than the

Hi Everyone, I'm a pretty useless r-er but have data that SPSS etc doesn't like. I've managed to do GLMs for my data, but now need to fit a thin plate spline for my data (arcsine.success~date.num:clutch.size) If anyone has a bit of spare time and could come up with a bit of code I'd be very grateful- I just don't get R language!

Hello: I sent this question the other day with the wrong subject heading and couple typos, with no response. So, here I go again, having made those corrections. I would like to estimate, for lack of a better description, a partially additive non-parametric model with the following structure: z~ f(x,y):w1 + g(x,y):w2 + e In other words, I'd like to estimate the marginals with respect to

Hi I'm using the gss package to fit thin plate splines. I've fitted the tps without problems and got a ssanova object. Then I wanted to do some prediction using a new set of data (latlon data) and I got an error message: > predict.ssanova(recs.spliney,recn.grid,se.fit=FALSE) Error in array(x, c(length(x), 1), if (!is.null(names(x))) list(names(x), : attempt to set an

Hi I would like to know if the "penalty associated with the fit" that is printed by the summary.ssanova function is the smoothing parameter (\lambda) of the criterion function that's minimized to find f.

Hey all, I'm using the gam() function inside the mgcv package to fit a penalised spline to some data. However, I don't quite understand what exactly the intercept it includes by default is / how to interpret it. Ideally I'd like to understand what the intercept is in terms of the B-Spline and/or truncated power series basis representation. Thanks!

I've been doing a simple time-series analysis looking at the relationship between daily pneumonia hospitalizations and daily temperature. To mimic some of the literature, I've been including a time-trend to try to account for normal cyclical trends in hospitalization. So I've been using a function that looks something like this: gam(pneucount ~ temp_f +

Hi Has anyone tried to fit a thin plate spine to a triangular plot before? I'm having trouble working out a piece of code to make it possible with three axes. I have done it before with two axes. I've found a package I prefer that makes triangular plots (plotrix) using the triax.plot() function. An example of some data and the plot follows: graph.data<-data.frame(a=c(9,6.2,

Dear R users, I am a beginner in R trying to apply the thin plate spline method to my climate data. I used the example in R to do so, and the lines seem to run fine ( I am not getting errors) but I am not getting any output in the form of graph or anything. I got a warning message saying that 'surface extends beyond box'. Any help is much appreciated. thanks minti

dear all, i have a little question, but it make me torment long time hope you can help me and give some advices , thanks i use smoothing spline in package gam the model > m1=gam(y~ost+wst+park10+sch50+comm+build+suite+y05+y06+y07+y99+y98+s(builarea)+s(age)+s(fl)+s(totfl)+s(cbd)+s(redl)) and summary(m1) can show the "s"(smoothing) variables' Signif. codes.

Hi, I was wondering if there is a function in R which performs bivariate non parametric smoothing which allows for the possibility of including some weights in the smoothing (for each data points in my grid I have some predefined weights that I would like to include in the smoothing).

Hi, there, I have 5 datasets. I would like to choose a basis spline with same knots in GAM function in order to obtain same basis function for 5 datasets. Moreover, the basis spline is used to for an interaction of two covarites. I used "cr" in one covariate, but it can only smooth w.r.t 1 covariate. Can anyone give me some suggestion about how to choose a proper smoothing spline

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

Hi.. I'm using gam() to fit a spline model for a data set that has two predictor variables (say A and B). The results indicate that the higher order interaction terms are significant. The R^2 jumps from .5 to .9 when I change the maximum order for the interaction from 10 to 15 (i.e. (AB)^10 to (AB)^15). Is there any way of finding out which of the terms in the model are really

hi, i'm working with mgcv packages and specially gam. My exemple is: >test<-gam(B~s(pred1)+s(pred2)) >plot(test,pages=1) when ploting test, you can view pred1 vs s(pred1, edf[1] ) & pred2 vs s(pred2, edf[2] ) I would like to know if there is a way to access to those terms (s(pred1) & s(pred2)). Does someone know how? the purpose is to access to equation of smooths terms

I have a general question about using thin plate splines in the surf and ordisurf routines. My rudimentary knowledge of a gam is that with each predictive variable there is a different smooth for each one and then they are added together with no real interaction term (because they don't handle this well?). Now, If I have two variables that have a high D^2 score and a low GCV score (I am

Hi, Is it possible to compare two GAM objects created with the gam() function from the mgcv package. I use a slightly modified version of anova.glm() named anova.gam(), modified from John Fox (2002). It often gives me some aberant responses, especially with "F" test. I use a quasibinomial model and scale (dispersion) is calculated and used in the calculation of the F value. Does someone
