[R] mgcv::predict.gam lpmatrix for prediction outside of R
This is in regards to the suggested use of type="lpmatrix" in the documentation for mgcv::predict.gam. Could one not get the same result more simply by using type="terms" and interpolating each term directly? What is the advantage of the lpmatrix approach for prediction outside R? Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/mgcv%3A%3Apredict.gam-lpmatrix-for-prediction-outside-of-R-tp16587009p16587009.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.

Thanks. -- You can get standard errors on the predictions if you do the `lpmatrix' interpolation thing. best, Simon -- > Simon Wood, Mathematical Sciences, University of Bath, Bath, BA2 7AY UK > +44 1225 386603 www.maths.bath.ac.uk/~sw283 __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
