The label 'mgcv' uses for smooths is useful in many contexts, including
selecting smooths or labelling plots. smooth_label() extracts this label
from an 'mgcv' smooth object, i.e. an object that inherits from class
"mgcv.smooth". These would typically be found in the $smooth component of
a GAM fitted by mgcv::gam() or mgcv::bam(), or related functions.
Usage
smooth_label(object, ...)
# S3 method for gam
smooth_label(object, id, ...)
# S3 method for mgcv.smooth
smooth_label(object, ...)Arguments
- object
an R object. Currently, methods for class
"gam"and for mgcv smooth objects inheriting from class"mgcv.smooth"are supported.- ...
arguments passed to other methods.
- id
numeric; the indices of the smooths whose labels are to be extracted. If missing, labels for all smooths in the model are returned.
Examples
load_mgcv()
df <- data_sim("gwf2", n = 100)
m <- gam(y ~ s(x), data = df, method = "REML")
# extract the smooth
sm <- get_smooths_by_id(m, id = 1)[[1]]
# extract the label
smooth_label(sm)
#> [1] "s(x)"
# or directly on the fitted GAM
smooth_label(m$smooth[[1]])
#> [1] "s(x)"
# or extract labels by idex/position
smooth_label(m, id = 1)
#> [1] "s(x)"
