similar to: spline with multiple predictor vars?

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 ran a small data set from a factorial experiment through R, Minitab and JMP... the result from R is significantly different from what Minitab or JMP give... The data set is at the following link: http://www.personal.psu.edu/nug107/Uploads/2x3_16repsANOVA.txt The first 5 columns are the factors and the next three are responses. In particular, for the response beta11MSE, two of the

Hi, Is there any way to change the y axis range of values in a plot.gam()? I need that two different GAM plots to be of the same scale. Also, it is possible to change the labels? I tried with "ylab" and "ylim" and did not work Thanks in advance Ricardo Lopes Ricardo Lopes ............................................. Instituto do Mar Departamento de Zoologia

Hello. I have searched the archives but have not found anything. I need to solve a constrained optimisation problem for a nonlinear function (“maximum entropy formalism”). Specifically, Optimise: -1*SUM(p_ilog(p_i)) for a vector p_i of probabilities, conditional on a series of constraints of the form: SUM(T_i*p_i)=k_i for given values of T_i and k_i (these are constraints on

Hi, I've got the R library "mgcv" for GAM written by Simon Wood which works well in many instances. However, over the years I got attached to the S+ implementation of GAM which allows loess smoothing in more than 1 dimension as well as spline smoothing. Has anyone ported the S+ GAM library to R? Regards, Doug Beare. Fisheries Research Services, Marine Laboratory, Victoria Road,

All, Sorry for bombarding you with GAM related questions, but... I know a partial residual option in plot.gam() is on Simon Wood's todo list, but since I'm in the midst of a project and not yet having acquired sufficient R knowledge to code something usable myself I'll have to put my trust in you. Anybody got some code lying around for doing this? Or if someone can supply me with

hello, I am looking for a step() function for GAM's. In the book Statistical Computing by Crawley and a removal of predictors has been done "by hand" model <- gam(y ~s(x1) +s(x2) + s(x3)) summary(model) model2 <- gam(y ~s(x2) + s(x3)) # removal of the unsignificant variable #then comparing these two models if an significant increase occurs. anova(model, model2,

Dear R Users, I would like to make a lesast squares regression similar to that what is done by the command "lm". But additionally, I would like to impose some restrictions: 1) The sum of all regression coefficients should be equal to 1. 2) Each coefficient should assume a value between 0 and 1. (inequality restrictions) Which command is the best to use in order to solve this problem

hello to everybody: I would to know with ranges of GCV or UBRE values can be considered as adequate to consider a GAM as correct Thanks in advance -- David Nogu?s Bravo Functional Ecology and Biodiversity Department Pyrenean Institute of Ecology Spanish Research Council Av.

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 fitted a GAM model with Poisson distribution using the function gam() in the mgcv package. My model is of the form: mod<-gam(y~s(x0)+s(x1)+s(x2),family=poisson). To extract estimates at a specified set of covariate values I used the gam `predict' method. But I want to get estimate and standard error of the difference of two fitted values. Can someone explain what should I do? Thank

I fitted a GAM model with Poisson distribution to a data with about 200 observations. I noticed that the plot of the residuals versus fitted values show a trend. Residuals tend to be lower for higher fitted values. Because, I'm dealing with count data, I'm thinking that this might be due to overdispersion. Is there a way to account for overdispersion in any of the packages MGCV or GAM?

Hello, I am a new member, and I need your help. For my work (thesis), I use the package rpart to construct trees. But, to continu my studies, I need to calcule the 'variable importance'. But, I don't find a program to do this in the implementation of R. Is there someone who know if there exist a program which calculate the 'variable importance', notion defined by Breiman and

How can I obtain the values of confidence intervals from gam anf glm objects? Thanks in advance -- David Nogu?s Bravo Functional Ecology and Biodiversity Department Pyrenean Institute of Ecology Spanish Research Council Av. Monta?ana 1005 Zaragoza - CP 50059 976716030 - 976716019 (fax)

Dear R-users: Im trying (using gam package) to develop a stepwise analysis. My gam object contains five pedictor variables (a,b,c,d,e,f). I define the step.gam: step.gam(gamobject, scope=list("a"= ~s(a,4), "b"= ~s(b,4), "c"= ~s(c,4), "d"= ~s(d,4), "e"= ~s(e,4), "f"= ~s(f,4))) However, the result shows a formula containing the whole

Hi all! I?ve got some problems with the function gam (library mgcv). For some models I get the error message : Error: no valid set of coefficients has been found:please supply starting values In addition: Warning message: NaNs produced in: log(x) This is a shortened code I used: gam(y ~ M1 + M3 + M4 + M5 + M6 + sex + M1*M3 + s(age), family=Gamma(link ="identity"), weights=days) If

Hi all, I am interested in obtaining R code related to geographically weighted regression. In particular, I am interested in building geographically weighted Poisson GLMs. The model will contain categorical and continuous x independent variables, with interaction effects between categorical and continuous variables. Anybody have anything I can look at? thanks, Mark. --

Get some question about the function "gam". Suppose I have a semiparametric model, Y~x1+x2+s(z1). Using "gam", how could I get the estimates for the parametric part and nonparametric part respectively? And another question: we could find the coefficients for both parametric term and nonparametric term, what do these coefficients for the nonparametric term stand for, the

Dear all, I'm a fairly new R user having two questions regarding gam: 1. The prediction example on p. 38 in the mgcv manual. In order to get predictions based on the original data set, by leaving out the 'newdata' argument ("newd" in the example), I get an error message "Warning message: the condition has length > 1 and only the first element will be used in: if
