If you look at the example for predict.gam, it should be clear that the data frame has a column(s) for the value(s) you want to predict for: > newd <- data.frame(x0=(0:30)/30,x1=(0:30)/30,x2=(0:30)/30,x3=(0:30)/30) > pred <- predict.gam(b,newd) > head(newd) x0 x1 x2

[R] Format of a data frame

The goal is to smooth a scatterplot using the LOESS locally weighted regression program and a gam. There are 156 points. Thus x can have the value 1, or 2, etc., up to a maximum of x = 156. The y values are random, with a Poisson distribution, or the next thing to it. After reading in the data,
