Hi Simon, thank you for your reply, I really appreciate any help to understand the problem here... Unluckily the package upgrade didn't help with this issue. An example reproducing the error, and a current sessionInfo() Output can be found below.
Many thanks once again, Katharina R Code Example <snip> library(RCurl) library(mgcv) #retrieve xylemRohWeekXnn2011 test data frame eval( expr = parse( text = getURL("https://webdisk.ads.mwn.de/Handlers/AnonymousDownload.ashx?folder=1a7cbaa4&path=xylemRohWeekXnn2011.R") )) xylemRohWeekXnn.fit.bam <- bam(sensor1 ~ sensor2 + s(site, bs="re") + s(site, NthSampling, bs="re") , data=xylemRohWeekXnn2011, na.action=na.omit) #subset data containing gaps for predicting gapData <- xylemRohWeekXnn2011[is.na(xylemRohWeekXnn2011[,2]) & !is.na(xylemRohWeekXnn2011[,11]),c(2:3,6:7, 11)] xylemRohWeekXnnSite.fit <- predict.gam(xylemRohWeekXnn.fit.bam,gapData, type="response", se=F) </snap> My current Session Information (sessionInfo() Output - also confirming that the problem exists on both Windows and Mac OS X): <snip> R version 3.0.2 (2013-09-25) Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin10.8.0 (64-bit) locale: [1] en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/C/en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8 attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base other attached packages: [1] mgcv_1.7-28 nlme_3.1-113 RCurl_1.95-4.1 bitops_1.0-6 loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] grid_3.0.2 lattice_0.20-24 Matrix_1.1-2 tools_3.0.2 </snap> On 31/01/14 12:57, Simon Wood wrote: > >Hi Katharina, > >Could you try upgrading to mgcv_1.7-28, please?
