Trevor,

It looks like you've added a parametric COR.YEARLY.MEAN in addition to your s(cxe,cyn,by=COR.YEARLY.MEAN) term. Because the latter includes a linear effect of COR.YEARLY.MEAN, then the parametric COR.YEARLY.MEAN will not be identifiable, so gam has dropped it.

I guess from the scale parameter your data are, if anything, under-dispersed relative to Poisson, but perhaps Poisson would have been ok too.

Could you give a bit more detail on 'NB just wouldn't work' please? What actually happened? (It's new functionality, so having reports when stuff goes wrong is useful).

best,
Simon

I have run a quasipoisson spatial model via GAM (NB just wouldn't work) and
I am getting the following output of one of my parameters
(COR.YEARLY.MEAN).  Does this suggest an error in the model fit? The model
seems to have converged.  Apologies for the lack of reproducible example
but it didn't really seem warranted in this case.  Thank you for the
assistance.
