My aim was to perform a a generalized additive model with penalized splines to
analyze the relationship between daily mortality and PM10 levels, and to
control for the non-linear confounding effects of weather (temperature =
Tmax; humidity = umidità).
this is my complete analysis:
> x.gam <- gam(mortality ~ s(PM10) + (Tmax) + (umidità), data = sab, family =
> quasipoisson)
> summary (x.gam)
Family: quasipoisson
Link function: log
Formula:
mortality ~ s(PM10) + (Tmax) + (umidità)
Parametric coefficients:
Estimate Std. Error t value Pr(>|t|)
(Intercept) 1.50456 0.83802 1.795 0.0784 .
Tmax 0.02060 0.01760 1.170 0.2472
umidità 0.01256 0.00826 1.520 0.1345
---
Signif. codes: 0 *** 0.001 ** 0.01 * 0.05 . 0.1 1
Approximate significance of smooth terms:
edf Ref.df F p-value
s(PM10) 3.067 3.857 4.862 0.00235 **
---
Signif. codes: 0 *** 0.001 ** 0.01 * 0.05 . 0.1 1
R-sq.(adj) = 0.269 Deviance explained = 34.2%
GCV score = 6.6782 Scale est. = 5.9797 n = 58
Can I assume that the y axis of the plot (which is labeled "sPM10,3.07)
plot(x.gam, page =1)
is the log relative risk ?
thanks again
