LMMsolver (version 1.0.12)

obtainSmoothTrend: Obtain Smooth Trend.

Description

Obtain the smooth trend for models fitted with a spline component.

Usage

obtainSmoothTrend(
  object,
  grid = NULL,
  newdata = NULL,
  deriv = 0,
  includeIntercept = FALSE,
  which = 1
)

Value

A data.frame with predictions for the smooth trend on the specified grid. The standard errors are saved if `deriv` has default value 0.

Arguments

object

An object of class LMMsolve.

grid

A numeric vector having the length of the dimension of the fitted spline component. This represents the number of grid points at which a surface will be computed.

newdata

A data.frame containing new points for which the smooth trend should be computed. Column names should include the names used when fitting the spline model.

deriv

Derivative of B-splines, default 0. At the moment only implemented for spl1D.

includeIntercept

Should the value of the intercept be included in the computed smooth trend? Ignored if deriv > 0.

which

An integer, for if there are multiple splxD terms in the model. Default value is 1.

Examples

## Fit model on oats data
data(oats.data)

## Fit a model with a 1-dimensional spline at the plot level.
LMM1_spline <- LMMsolve(fixed = yield ~ rep + gen,
                       spline = ~spl1D(x = plot, nseg = 20),
                       data = oats.data)

## Obtain the smooth trend for the fitted model on a dense grid.
smooth1 <- obtainSmoothTrend(LMM1_spline,
                            grid = 100)

## Obtain the smooth trend on a new data set - plots 10 to 40.
newdat <- data.frame(plot = 10:40)
smooth2 <- obtainSmoothTrend(LMM1_spline,
                            newdata = newdat)

## The first derivative of the smooth trend can be obtained by setting deriv = 1.
smooth3 <- obtainSmoothTrend(LMM1_spline,
                            grid = 100,
                            deriv = 1)
