Details

These were collected from the Hunua Ranges, a small forest in southern Auckland, New Zealand. At 392 sites in the forest, the presence/absence of 17 plant species was recorded, as well as the altitude. Each site was of area size 200\(m^2\).

# Fit a GAM using vgam() and compare it with the Waitakere Ranges one
fit.h <- vgam(agaaus ~ s(altitude, df = 2), binomialff, data = hunua)
if (FALSE) {
plot(fit.h, se = TRUE, lcol = "orange", scol = "orange",
     llwd = 2, slwd = 2, main = "Orange is Hunua, Blue is Waitakere") }
head(predict(fit.h, hunua, type = "response"))

fit.w <- vgam(agaaus ~ s(altitude, df = 2), binomialff, data = waitakere)
if (FALSE) {
plot(fit.w, se = TRUE, lcol = "blue", scol = "blue", add = TRUE) }
head(predict(fit.w, hunua, type = "response"))   # Same as above?
