Thanks a lot for all the mails! With all the different examples I now have got it working. The problem finally after I had worked out the newd2 as supplied by Gavin was that I found the plot so strange looking. I have altered my newd2 a bit, and after your e-mails Simon I figured out how to finally plot my different graphs. The final script I used to get things running is as follows, maybe a bit different then the examples but I think it did give me the predictions I wanted. This is the version I used for the plots for all days.
m3<-gam(y_no~s(day,by=mapID)+mapID,family=binomial, data=mergeday) newd2 <- data.frame(day = rep(seq(1, 366, length = 366), 8), mapID = rep(sort(unique(mergeday$mapID)), each = 366)) pred<-data.frame(predict(m3,newd2,type="response")) names(pred) [1] "predict.m3..newd2..type....response.." ### I need to rename the column name in something more sensible or easy, but this worked out as well. plot(pred$predict.m3..newd2..type....response..[1:366],type="l",ylab="Relative Habitat Use",xlab ="days") If this method might not give me a correct prediction, please tell me, but I think the results looked kind of similar to my GAM plots. A mighty thank you for all the helpful replies!
