Hello,

Can anyone explain why this error?

[1] "bs"     "basis"  "matrix"
>
> ?predict.bs
> predict.bs(SCurve, xnew = 40:45)
Error in predict.bs(SCurve, xnew = 40:45) :
  could not find function "predict.bs"

Note that splines:::predict.bs(SCurve, xnew = 40:45) works.

Hello,

Since function splines::bs returns an object of class bs in order to
read the help page for function predict you need

?predict.bs

The syntax would be

## S3 method for class 'bs'
predict(object, newx, ...)

Please read that help page and maybe you'll get the answer you need.

Hope this helps,

If is specify a spline basis as follows

knots <- c(6, 12, 22, 30, 35)
x <- c(0.0, .25, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0)
SCurve <- bs(x = x, knots = knots, intercept = FALSE, Boundary.knots =
c(0,3.5))

I would like to now get the spline value for new values of x.  However,
when I use predict the new basis is returned and I would like to get the
value.  Nothing has worked so far and ?predict plus examples only show
prediction from linear models.  Is there a way to extract the value from
a defined spline?

Best Regards,
Glenn
