Hallo all I am using a gam model for my data.
m2.4<-bam(acc~ 1 + igc + s(ctrial, by=igc) + shape + s(ctrial, by=shape) + s(ctrial, sbj, bs = "fs", m = 1) , data=data, family=binomial) igc codes condition and there are four levels (CAT.pseudo, CAT.ideo,PA.pseudo, PA.ideo), and shape is a factor (that cannot be considered random effect) with four levels too (rand21, rand22, rand23, rand30). Here is the summary of the model > summary(m2.4) Family: binomial Link function: logit Formula: acc ~ 1 + igc + s(ctrial, by = igc) + shape + s(ctrial, by = shape) + s(ctrial, sbj, bs = "fs", m = 1) Parametric coefficients: Estimate Std.

There is also the intercept of the model, set at the reference level of condition (CAT.pseudo) and at the reference level of shape (rand21). Each parametric term represents the difference of each level of each of the two factors from the intercept. I have two questions Q1: Does anyone now why I get NA results in the second line of the parametric terms? Q2: The term igcCAT.ideo denotes the difference in the intercept between (A): condition=igcCAT.ideo, and (B): (condition=igcCATpseudo ) &(shape=rand21). But what is the value (level) of shape for (A)? Is it the reference level? Or is it, perhaps, the "grand mean" of the shape variable?
