Trace on gam Model

Description

Trace on the surface of a gam model.

Usage

trace_gam(
  object,
  formula,
  newdata = data,
  newid = seq_len(min(3L, nrow(newdata))),
  ...
)

Arguments

Value

The function trace_gam() returns a pretty htmlwidgets created by R package plotly.

Note

The maintainer is not aware of any functionality of projection of arbitrary curves in package plotly.

Examples

library(mgcv)
# ?s
# ?ti

Alternative perspective Plot for gam Model

Description

An interactive perspective plot for gam model, rendered as an htmlwidgets using the package plotly.

Usage

widget_gam(x, ..., colorscale)

Arguments

Value

The function widget_gam() returns a pretty htmlwidgets created by R package plotly.

Note

The internal utility functions persp_gam_int() and newd_gam_int() are based on the function vis.gam.

Examples

library(mgcv)
colorscale = list(c(0, 1), c('white', 'lightgreen'))

# examples from ?mgcv::te
test1 = \(x,z,sx=0.3,sz=0.4) { 
 x = x*20
 (pi**sx*sz)*(1.2*exp(-(x-0.2)^2/sx^2-(z-0.3)^2/sz^2)+
  0.8*exp(-(x-0.7)^2/sx^2-(z-0.8)^2/sz^2))
}
n = 500
x = runif(n)/20; z = runif(n);
xs = seq(0,1,length=30)/20; zs = seq(0,1,length=30)
pr = data.frame(x=rep(xs,30),z=rep(zs,rep(30,30)))
truth = matrix(test1(pr$x,pr$z),30,30)
persp(xs,zs,truth); title("truth")
f = test1(x,z)
y = f + rnorm(n)*0.2
b1 = gam(y ~ s(x,z))
b2 = gam(y ~ te(x,z))
b3 = gam(y ~ ti(x) + ti(z) + ti(x,z))
b4 = gam(y ~ ti(x) + ti(x,z,mc=c(0,1))) ## note z constrained!

widget_gam(b1, colorscale = colorscale)
widget_gam(b2, colorscale = colorscale)
widget_gam(b3, colorscale = colorscale)
widget_gam(b4, colorscale = colorscale)
