A tidy basis representation of a smooth object

Takes an object of class mgcv.smooth and returns a tidy representation of the basis.

Usage

tidy_basis(smooth, data = NULL, at = NULL, coefs = NULL, p_ident = NULL)

Arguments

smooth

a smooth object of or inheriting from class "mgcv.smooth". Typically, such objects are returned as part of a fitted GAM or GAMM in the $smooth component of the model object or the $gam$smooth component if the model was fitted by mgcv::gamm() or gamm4::gamm4().

data

a data frame containing the variables used in smooth.

at

a data frame containing values of the smooth covariate(s) at which the basis should be evaluated.

coefs

numeric; an optional vector of coefficients for the smooth

p_ident

logical vector; only used for handling scam::scam() smooths.

Value

A tibble.

Examples

load_mgcv()
df <- data_sim("eg1", n = 400, seed = 42)

# fit model
m <- gam(y ~ s(x0) + s(x1) + s(x2) + s(x3), data = df, method = "REML")

# tidy representaition of a basis for a smooth definition
# extract the smooth
sm <- get_smooth(m, "s(x2)")
# get the tidy basis - need to pass where we want it to be evaluated
bf <- tidy_basis(sm, at = df)

# can weight the basis by the model coefficients for this smooth
bf <- tidy_basis(sm, at = df, coefs = smooth_coefs(sm, model = m))
