Dear R-helpers,

Doing dput(x) and dput(y_obs), the 2 vectors are not the same length (1800 for 
y_obs and 2000 for x)
How can I solve the problem ?

Here is the reproducible R code

   #  #  #  #  #  #  #  #  #  #
library(mgcv)
  library(earth)

n<-2000
x<-runif(n, 0, 5)
  y_model<- 0.1*x^3 - 0.5 * x^2 - x + 10
# y_obs<-rnorm(n*0.9, y_model, 0.1)+rnorm(n*0.1, y_model, 0.5) # maybe not 
exactly your goal?


You didn't lay out any goals for analysis, so let me guess what was intended:


I suspect that you were hoping to model a mixture composed of 90% from one distribution and 10% from another. If I'm right about that guess then you would instead wat to join the samples from each distribution:

y_obs<-c( rnorm(n*0.9, y_model, 0.1),  rnorm(n*0.1, y_model, 0.5) )

gam_model<- gam(y_obs~s(x))
mars_model<- earth(y_obs~x)
MSE_GAM<-mean((gam_model$fitted.values - y_model)^2)
MSE_MARS<-mean((mars_model$fitted.values - y_model)^2)
MSE_GAM
MSE_MARS
