Re: [R] mgcv: How to calculate a confidence interval of a ratio

Given that this is just s(x2) - s(x1) then you can get the CI using the type= lpmatrix with predict.gam. Here's an example... library(mgcv) ## simulate some data dat - gamSim(1,n=400,dist=poisson,scale=.25) ## fit log-linear model... b - gam(y~s(x0)+s(x1)+s(x2)+s(x3),family=poisson,

Dear R-Users, Dr. Wood replied to a similar topic before where confidence intervals were for a ratio of two treatments ( https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2011-June/282190.html). But my question is more complicated than that one. In my case, log(E(y)) = s(x) where y is a smooth function of x.
