hi, after m=locfit(y~x,..........., family=binomial) plot(m,band="local") gives me a plot of locfit's result with a confidence interval around it. i would like to get the actual values that are being used to plot the lines in this figure. i tried using predict, but the standard error it returns when i supply the se=T argument, appears not to be the same as the CI produced by

I've been trying to run locfit on data with 6 inputs and 1 output in R. Whenever I make a prediction for the same exact data that the model was built on though, I get significant discrepancies between the fitted outputs of the prediction and the actual data. I have scaled the inputs, tweaked the alpha parameter, and played around with a lot of the other variables as well. Is their some kind

Dear all, I am trying to include confidence intervals in a xyplot. This is what I am doing: xyplot(x ~ y|z, alpha = 1,band = "global",panel = panel.locfit) (more specifically, in my case x is a binary response from a logistic regression model) The output plot was fine but it did not include the confidence intervals Anyone knows how to do it? (xYplot did not work either) many thanks

I'm using the package 'locfit' for nonparametric regression. This package contains the function 'scb' to compute simultaneous confidence bands. The variance of the data is unknown. Up to now I compute a fit with 'locfit'. Afterwards an estimate of the residual variance is computed by the function 'rv'. The weights in the 'scb'-function are set 1/sigma^2

Hi, I'm trying to work through the examples and code in Loader's LOCAL REGRESSION AND LIKELIHOOD, and have run into a problem with the code for one sided smoothing and change point analysis (p. 110-112). The code, after loading locfit: midp<-(1945:1988)+0.5 fitl<-locfit(thickness~left(year), data=penny, alpha=c(0,10), deg=1, ev=midp)

Hi All, In another thread Andy Liaw, who CRAN lists as locfit maintainer; said: <quote> From: "Liaw, Andy" <andy_liaw at merck.com> To: "Guy Green" <guygreen at netvigator.com>; <r-help at r-project.org> Subject: Re: Alternatives to linear regression with multiple variables Date: 22 February 2010 17:50 You can try the locfit package, which I believe

Hi, I have a Q on locfit, E.g., I have an input data set of the form {(x, y, v)} , (x, y) is the location in a 2D space, v is the value at that location. I am wondering for the output of locfit(), if a given point (x, y) is in the input data set, is the value at (x, y) going to be the exactly same as the input? or it depends on the local fitting function? does my Q make sense? Thanks a lot in

Hi, I?m trying to combine the Locfit Package with the Mgcv package (to use Generalized Additive Models with Locfit components). I read the book written by Clive Loader where it?s said that, for the S language, you just have to "load" the locfit package using the command : Library(locfit, first="T") in order to use locfit components in an additive model. But I can?t. I guess

Hello!!! I'm just a beginner of R. I work with locfit to get the density from an numeric vector. It looks good when I plot the graph, but I need the output data of locfit. For example I need somthing like that (only integer values for the input): numeric vector (input of locfit) density (output of locfit) 1 0.05.... 2 0.04.. 3 0.01 ... Thank you for your help and your time.

Dear R users, i am using locfit package developed by loader in R software, my problem is that as i am doing independont forecast using locfit object , i am able to do independont forecast for more than one years simultaniously. But when i am doing one year forecast(single) this code is giving following error... "Warning message: 'newdata' had 1 rows but variable(s) found have 24

The locfit library is now available through CRAN, in the Contributed R Code directory. Locfit fits local regression, likelihood and density estimation models, in the spirit of loess but with many additional features. To install, unpack the locfit_19980309.tar.gz file, and R INSTALL locfit Most of the functionality and examples on my home page http://cm.bell-labs.com/stat/project/locfit/ should

I have a question regarding the package LOCFIT of C Loader. After fitting a smooth surface (y modeled by two regressors), I can't seem to find a nice way of making a perspective (or other 3d plot). The contours don't look quite so good. It is meant to be used as illustration of smoothing to my students in regression analysis. Could anybody perhaps assist me in producing a

Hi list, This was asked a couple of years ago but I can't find a resolution. Is there any way to get the coefficients from one of the local polynomial fits in locfit. I realize that locfit only constructs polynomials at a handful of intelligently selected points and uses interpolation to predict any other points. I would like to know the terms of the polynomials at these points. It seems

Hello there, I am presently using the locfit package in "R" and would appreciate some help here. Could anyone tell me tell me how I can obtain the various components (x and y values)of the density estimation after using the "R" command "locfit"? For example, with the command "fhat<-density(somename)" I can obtain the x and y values by simply calling

Dear, I am doing some statistics analysis using R software. I am currently trying to implement your library locfit. I am using Win NT and R1.1.1 version obtained on the following Webmaster : http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/ms/departments/sia/project/locfit/index.html When trying to run it, the following message appears: ********** Error in .C("guessnv", nvm = integer(1), ncm =

Dear R-users, One of the main reasons I moved from GAUSS to R (as an econometrician) was because of the existence of the library LOCFIT for local polynomial regression. While doing some checking between my former `GAUSS code' and my new `R code', I came to realize LOCFIT is not quite doing what I want. I wrote the following example script:

Dear memberships, I'm trying to estimate the following multivariate local regression model using the "locfit" package: BMI=m1(RCC)+m2(WCC) where (m1) and (m2) are unknown smooth functions. My problem is that once I get the regression done I cannot get the fitted values of each of this smooth functions (m1) and (m2). What I write is the following library(locfit) data(ais)

Dear all, after building the R-1.1.1 from source on our alpha everything seems to work, but locfit still hangs... I installed locfit with install.packages(...), the installation process went fine, but calling locfit() blocks the R environment. Has anybody got an idea howto get to the roots of this problem? Thanks M. Eger -- +------------------------------------------------------- | Marcus

Dear R experts, We've been playing with the locfit package and are experiencing a problem I am hoping for some help on. We have a dataset of 13k points, one dimension of which is "judgment", either 0 or 1, and the other "score", an arbitrary scalar (in this case it's between .65 and .85). We use
