Thanks for the swift reply,

I might have been a bit sloppy with describing my datasets and problem. I
showed the first model as an example of the type of GAM that I had been able
to use the predict function on. What I am looking for is how to predict my
m3:
model3<-gam(y_no~s(day,by=mapID),family=binomial, data=mergeday)

When I plot this I get 8 different graphs. Each showing me a different
habitat type with on the x-axis days and on the y-axis s(day,2,81):mapID.
With predict I was hoping to get the scale of the y-axis right for a
selection of days (for example 244,304).

I have tried to reform the script you gave me to match my dataset in m3, but
it all did not seem to work.

newd2 <- data.frame(day = rep(seq(244, 304, length = 100), 8),
                   mapID = rep(levels(mergeday$mapID), each = 100))

newd2 <- data.frame(day = rep(seq(244, 304, length = 100), 8),
                   mapID = rep(sort(unique(mergeday$mapID)),
                               each = 100))

I am guessing it must have something to do with the  by in s(day,by=mapID).
I haven't come across any examples that used a GAM with by and then used the
predict function.

(A sample of the dataset:
          mapID                  day   y_no
Urban Areas and Water    25      1
Urban Areas and Water    26      1
Early Succesional Forest  27      0
Agriculture                       28      0
Early Succesional Forest  29      0
Mature Coniferous Forest  30      0)


I am sorry that I have to bother you even more with this, and I hope that my
additional explanation about my problem might help solve it.

Sincerely yours,

Robbert Langenberg
