predict_gam: Modified prediciton function based on predict.gam

Description

Largely based on predict.gam, but with some minor modifications to make it compatible with predict_nls

Usage

predict_gam(
  object,
  newdata = NULL,
  type = "link",
  se.fit = TRUE,
  terms = NULL,
  exclude = NULL,
  block.size = NULL,
  newdata.guaranteed = FALSE,
  na.action = na.pass,
  unconditional = FALSE,
  iterms.type = NULL,
  interval = c("none", "confidence", "prediction"),
  level = 0.95,
  tvalue = NULL,
  ...
)

Value

numeric vector of the same length as the fitted object when interval is equal to ‘none’. Otherwise, a data.frame with columns named (for a 0.95 level) ‘Estimate’, ‘Est.Error’, ‘Q2.5’ and ‘Q97.5’

Arguments

object

object of class ‘gam’ or as returned by function ‘gamm’

type

se.fit

Examples

# \donttest{
require(ggplot2)
require(mgcv)
data(barley)

fm.G <- gam(yield ~ s(NF, k = 6), data = barley)

## confidence and prediction intervals
cis <- predict_gam(fm.G, interval = "conf")
pis <- predict_gam(fm.G, interval = "pred")

barleyA.ci <- cbind(barley, cis)
barleyA.pi <- cbind(barley, pis)

ggplot() + 
  geom_point(data = barleyA.ci, aes(x = NF, y = yield)) + 
  geom_line(data = barleyA.ci, aes(x = NF, y = Estimate)) + 
  geom_ribbon(data = barleyA.ci, aes(x = NF, ymin = Q2.5, ymax = Q97.5), 
              color = "red", alpha = 0.3) + 
  geom_ribbon(data = barleyA.pi, aes(x = NF, ymin = Q2.5, ymax = Q97.5), 
              color = "blue", alpha = 0.3) +
