Dear Simon, Thank you for your quick reply! I used to perform the GAMsetup in the following manner:
GAMsetup sintax: x.summer: vector used for construct the spline knots<-14 N<-length(x.summer) x<-array(x.summer,dim=c(1,N)) G<-list(m=1,n=N,nsdf=0,df=knots+1,dim=1,s.type=0,by=0,by.exists=FALSE,p.order=0,x=x,n.knots=knots,fit.method="mgcv") H<-GAMsetup(G) with the new version mgcv 1.4.1 gam.setup this does no longer work and gives me the following error: Error in gam.setup(G) : First argument is no sort of formula! What is the correct new syntax? I also tried to obtain H with gam function under mgcv and I thought that with the gam function I could obtain H using s(). Is this wrong? e.g. mod_spline<-gam(yy~s(x.summer,k=16,bs="cr",fx=FALSE,by=NA,m=1),sp=c(0.001),data=dstime,family=poisson,fit.method="mgcv") H<-predict.gam(mod_spline,type="lpmatrix") H<-H[,2:16] I presume that the vectors obtained using the predict.gam() are different from the ones obtained using GAM.setup(). Thank for your help. Looking forward to hearing from you.
