Re: [R] Help with GAM (mgcv)

OK, try... model3=gam(Symptoms~as.factor(txerad)+as.factor(maritalStatus),family=binomial,data=data2) or model3=gam(data2$Symptoms~as.factor(data2$txerad)+as.factor(data2$maritalSt atus),family=binomial) ... both types of construction work with the current mgcv:gam (and with glm). Your constructi

Re: [R] Help with GAM (mgcv)

Probably the problem is with trying to smooth maritalStatus, which is a factor variable. Smooths are generally functions of metric variables (i.e. variables that take numerical values, where the ordering is meaningful). You can have random effect smooths and markov random field smooths in more r

Re: [R] help with GAM

Type unique(density) How many different unique values does density take? The wiggliness of the smooth term consumes degrees of freedom. That is, the more wiggly your smooth term, the more DFs it consumes. If you get the error you got, you have to reduce the degrees of freedom alloted to the smooth
