SmoothSpline: Formula Interface For smooth.spline

Description

smooth.spline has no formula interface, which is sometimes inconvenient, if one simply wants to copy a formula of a linear model or a plot to spline.

Usage

SmoothSpline(x, ...)
"SmoothSpline"(x, y = NULL, w = NULL, df, spar = NULL, cv = FALSE, all.knots = FALSE, nknots = .nknots.smspl, keep.data = TRUE, df.offset = 0, penalty = 1, control.spar = list(), tol = 0.000001 * IQR(x), ...)
"SmoothSpline"(formula, data, subset, na.action, ...)

Arguments

x

a vector giving the values of the predictor variable, or a list or a two-column matrix specifying x and y.

y

responses. If y is missing or NULL, the responses are assumed to be specified by x, with x the index vector.

w

optional vector of weights of the same length as x; defaults to all 1.

df

the desired equivalent number of degrees of freedom (trace of the smoother matrix).

spar

smoothing parameter, typically (but not necessarily) in $(0,1]$. The coefficient $\lambda$ of the integral of the squared second derivative in the fit (penalized log likelihood) criterion is a monotone function of spar, see the details below.

cv

ordinary (TRUE) or ‘generalized’ cross-validation (GCV) when FALSE; setting it to NA skips the evaluation of leverages and any score.

all.knots

if TRUE, all distinct points in x are used as knots. If FALSE (default), a subset of x[] is used, specifically x[j] where the nknots indices are evenly spaced in 1:n, see also the next argument nknots.

nknots

integer or function giving the number of knots to use when all.knots = FALSE. If a function (as by default), the number of knots is nknots(nx). By default for $nx > 49$ this is less than $nx$, the number of unique x values, see the Note.

keep.data

logical specifying if the input data should be kept in the result. If TRUE (as per default), fitted values and residuals are available from the result.

df.offset

allows the degrees of freedom to be increased by df.offset in the GCV criterion.

penalty

the coefficient of the penalty for degrees of freedom in the GCV criterion.

control.spar

optional list with named components controlling the root finding when the smoothing parameter spar is computed, i.e., missing or NULL, see below.

Note that this is partly experimental and may change with general spar computation improvements!

Note that spar is only searched for in the interval $[low, high]$.

tol

a tolerance for same-ness or uniqueness of the x values. The values are binned into bins of size tol and values which fall into the same bin are regarded as the same. Must be strictly positive (and finite).

formula

a formula of the form lhs ~ rhs where lhs gives the data values and rhs the corresponding groups.

data

The data frame from which the formula should be evaluated.

subset

an optional vector specifying a subset of observations to be used.

na.action

a function which indicates what should happen when the data contain NAs. Defaults to getOption("na.action").
