Here's a simulated example (although really for this model structure, one might as well fit seperate models for each factor level).
## Simulate some data with factor dependent smooths n <- 400 x <- runif(n, 0, 1) f1 <- 2 * sin(pi * x) f2 <- exp(2 * x) - 3.75887 f3 <- 0.2 * x^11 * (10 * (1 - x))^6 + 10 * (10 * x)^3 * (1 - x)^10 fac <- as.factor(c(rep(1, 100), rep(2, 100), rep(3, 200))) fac.1 <- as.numeric(fac == 1) fac.2 <- as.numeric(fac == 2) fac.3 <- as.numeric(fac == 3) f <- f1 * fac.1 + f2 * fac.2 + f3 * fac.3 y <- rpois(f,exp(f/4)) ## fit gam, with a smooth of `x' for each level of `fac' b <- gam(y~s(x,by=fac)+fac,family=poisson) par(mfrow=c(2,2)) plot(b) ## produce plots on response scale, first the prediction... np <- 200 newd <- data.frame(x=rep(seq(0,1,length=np),3), fac=factor(c(rep(1,np),rep(2,np),rep(3,np)))) pv <- predict(b,newd,type="response") ## .. now the plotting par(mfrow=c(2,2)) ind <- 1:np plot(newd$x[ind],pv[ind],type="l",xlab="x",ylab="f(x,fac=1)") ind <- ind+np plot(newd$x[ind],pv[ind],type="l",xlab="x",ylab="f(x,fac=2)") ind <- ind+np plot(newd$x[ind],pv[ind],type="l",xlab="x",ylab="f(x,fac=2)") On Friday 16 January 2009 14:30, Robbert Langenberg wrote: > Thanks for the swift reply, > > I might have been a bit sloppy with describing my datasets and problem.
