Sometimes, for specific models, I get this error from predict.gam in library mgcv: Error in complete.cases(object) : negative length vectors are not allowed Here's an example: model.calibrate <- gam(meansalesw ~ s(tscore,bs="cs",k=4), data=toplot, weights=weight, gam.method="perf.magic") > test <- predict(model.calibrate,newdata) Error in

Hallo I need some help with the output provided by gam.check after a gam fit (using the package mgcv). To give a brief description of my data, I have claims: a vector of values, which include NA's and one large negative value - otherwise all positive (55 values in total that are not NA). origin: a factor with 10 levels j : taking the values 1, 2, ...., 10 I have fitted a gam, with: >

Dear all, I run the GAMs (generalized additive models) in gam(mgcv) using the following codes. m.gam <-gam(mark~s(x)+s(y)+s(lstday2004)+s(ndvi2004)+s(slope)+s(elevation)+disbinary,family=binomial(logit),data=point) And two repeated warnings appeared. Warnings$B!'(B 1: In gam.fit(G, family = G$family, control = control, gamma = gamma, ... : Algorithm did not converge 2: In gam.fit(G,

Dear list, I fitted the same GAM model using directly the function gam(mgcv) ... then as a parameter of another function that capture the warnings messages (see below). In the first case, there is no warning message printed, but in the last one, the function find two warning messages stating "matrix not positive definite" So my question is: Do I have to worry about those warnings and

Dear List, I'm just teaching myself semi-parametric techniques. Apologies in advance for the long post. I've got observational data and a longitudinal, semi-parametric model that I want to fit in GAM (or potentially something equivalent), and I'm not sure how to do it. I'm posting this to ask whether it is possible to do what I want to do using "canned" commands

Hi, I am using the gam function in the mgcv package, I have random effects in my model (bs="re") this has worked fine, but after I updated the mgcv package to version 1.7-19 I recive an error message when I run the model. > fit1<-gam(IV~s(RUTE,bs="re")+s(T13)+s(H40)+factor(AAR)+s(V3)+s(G1)+s(H1)+s(V1)+factor(LEDD),data=data5,method="ML") > summary.gam(fit1)

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 all, Following the help from gam(mgcv) help page, i tried to analyze my dataset with all the default arguments. Unfortunately, it can't be run successfully. I list the errors below. #m.gam<-gam(mark~s(x,y)+s(lstday2004)+s(slope)+s(ndvi2004)+s(elevation)+s(disbinary),family=binomial(logit),data=point)

Hello, We have a question about how to retrieve the nonparametric curve in gam() function. Now, we get the estimates and draw the fitted curve using the following code. You can see that our fitted curve is parallel to the output from gam() function but differs by a constant shift. However, the magnitude of the shift is not the intercept term. Also, gam's estimate appears more close to the

Hi, I would be very grateful for advice on getting confidence intervals for the ordinary (non smoothed) parameter estimates from a gam. Motivation I am studying hospital outcomes in a large data set. The outcomes of interest to me are all binary variables. The one in the example here, Dead30d, is death within 30 days of admission. Sexf is gender (M or F), Age is age in years at the start

mgcv: Constructing probabilities for binomial GAM with crossed random intercepts and factor by variable Hello, (I'm sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere; I may not have been looking in the right places.) I ran a binomial GAM in which "Correct" is modelled in terms of the participant's age and the modality in which the stimulus is presented (written vs spoken).

Dear list, does anybody know whether there is a way to easily retrieve the so called "partial residuals" of a gam fit with package mgcv? The partial residuals are the residuals you would get if you would "leave out" a particular predictor and are the dots in the plots created by plot(gam.object,residuals=TRUE) residuals.gam() gives me whole model residuals and

I am writing my thesis with the function gam(), with the package {mgcv}. My command is: gam(y~s(x1,bs="cr")+s(x2, bs="cr")). I need help to know what are the default basis funcitons for gam. I have not found any detailed reference for this. Can anyone help me with this?? -- View this message in context:

Dear R-Helpers, I posted two days ago on testing significance of random effects in mgcv, but realize I did not make my overall purpose clear. I have a series of N short time series, where N might range from 3-10 and short means a median of 20 time points. The sample data below (PCP) has N = 4 cases with 9, 13, 16 and 16 observations over time respectively. The data set contains four

Dear all, I have a problem with specifying the no. of knots in our function which include gam(). I last worked with this in mid September but since then I have reinstalled R and Simon Wood's library(mgcv), which he has changed since then. The statistician (and good R-coder) with whom I co-operate is now unfortunately overloaded with teaching, and I'm in the sprut of my thesis.... I

Dear list, i'm using the GAM function from mgcv package. I'm using this syntax: model=gam(y~offset(x)+s(log1p(x1))+s(log1p(x2))+s(x3)+s(x4)+s(5),family=quasipoisson,data=data) and I'm sequentially dropping the single term with the highest non-significant p-value from the model and re-fitting until all term are significant. Now I have:

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 am trying to test out several mgcv::gam models in a scalar-on-function regression analysis. The following is the 'hierarchy' of models I would like to test: (1) Y_i = a + integral[ X_i(t)*Beta(t) dt ] (2) Y_i = a + integral[ F{X_i(t)}*Beta(t) dt ] (3) Y_i = a + integral[ F{X_i(t),t} dt ] equivalents for discrete data might be: 1) Y_i = a + sum_t[ L_t * X_it * Beta_t ] (2) Y_i

Dear useRs, I have a question with respect to fitting a non-linearity using gam (mgcv package, version 1.7-16). In a study I'm currently conducting, I'd like to find out if there is a breakpoint after which the effect of Age of Acquisition (AOA) of the second language changes. I.e. if the slope of AOA before the breakpoint (at a certain AOA) is different from the slope past the

Is there a way to add residuals to plots produced by plot.gam in the mgcv package? I'm looking for something like what you get using resid=T in Splus plot.gam.
