R-users E-mail: r-help@r-project.org Hi! R-users. http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/library/mvpart/html/xpred.rpart.html says: data(car.test.frame) fit <- rpart(Mileage ~ Weight, car.test.frame) xmat <- xpred.rpart(fit) xerr <- (xmat - car.test.frame$Mileage)^2 apply(xerr, 2, sum) # cross-validated error estimate # approx same result as rel. error from printcp(fit) apply(xerr, 2,

R-users E-mail: r-help@r-project.org My understanding is that package "mgcv" is based on "Generalized Additive Models: An Introduction with R (by Simon N. Wood)". On the page 126 of this book, eq(3.4) looks a quartic equation with respect to "x", not a cubic equation. I am wondering if all routines which uses cubic splines in mgcv are based on this quartic

R-users E-mail: r-help@r-project.org Hi! R-users. I am just wondering what the definition of "dffits" in R language is. Let me show you an simple example. function() { library(MASS) xx <- c(1,2,3,4,5) yy <- c(1,3,4,2,4) data1 <- data.frame(x=xx, y=yy) lm.out <- lm(y~., data=data1, x=T) lev1 <- lm.influence(lm.out)$hat sig1 <-

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:

R-users E-mail: r-help@r-project.org I have a quenstion on "gam()" in "gam" package. The help of gam() says: 'gam' uses the _backfitting algorithm_ to combine different smoothing or fitting methods. On the other hand, lm.wfit(), which is a routine of gam.fit() contains: z <- .Fortran("dqrls", qr = x * wts, n = n, p = p, y = y *

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

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" >

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

re: Cubic splines in package "mgcv" I don't have access to Gu (2002) but clearly the function R(x,z) defined on p126 of Simon Wood's book is piecewise quartic, not piecewise cubic. Like Kunio Takezawa (below) I was puzzled by the word "cubic" on p126. As Simon Wood writes, this basis is not actually used by mgcv when specifying bs="cr". Maybe the point is

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 R-hep, I'm trying to get the first derivative of a smooth from a gam model like: model<-gam(y~s(x,bs="cr", k=5)+z) and need the derivative: ds(x)/dx. Since coef(model) give me all the parameters, including the parameters of the basis, I just need the 1st derivative of the basis s(x).1, s(x).2, s(x).3, s(x).4. If the basis were generated with the function

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

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

Dear all, I'm using the mgcv library by Simon Wood to fit gam models with interactions and I have been reading (and running) the "factor 'by' variable example" given on the gam.models help page (see below, output from the two first models b, and b1). The example explains that both b and b1 fits are similar: "note that the preceding fit (here b) is the same 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

We are using GAM in mgcv (Wood), relatively new users, and wonder if anyone can advise us on a problem we are encountering as we analyze many short time series datasets. For each dataset, we have four models, each with intercept, predictor x (trend), z (treatment), and int (interaction between x and z). Our models are Model 1: gama1.1 <- gam(y~x+z+int, family=quasipoisson) ##no smooths Model

hi, i'm using gam() function from package mgcv with default option (edf estimated by GCV). >G=gam(y ~ s(x0, k = 5) + s(x1) + s(x2, k = 3)) >SG=summary(G) Formula: y ~ +s(x0, k = 5) + s(x1) + s(x2, k = 3) Parametric coefficients: Estimate std. err. t ratio Pr(>|t|) (Intercept) 3.462e+07 1.965e+05 176.2 < 2.22e-16 Approximate significance of smooth

Dear useRs, I reran an analysis with bam (mgcv, version 1.7-17) originally conducted using an older version of bam (mgcv, version 1.7-11) and this resulted in the same estimates, but much lower standard errors (in some cases 20 times as low) and lower p-values. This obviously results in a larger set of significant predictors. Is this result expected given the improvements in the new version? Or

When I run the gam function as part of an optimization and do the optimization many times using a loop, I'm finding that memory use increases over time (based on simply monitoring top). Below is some example code that involves varying the penalty parameter in gam, trying to find the value that gives exactly 50 edf for a simple smoothing problem. I thought I would post to the list to see if
