mspreg1(s, r, id.basis, y, wt, method, alpha, varht, random, skip.iter)
ngreg1(family, s, r, id.basis, y, wt, offset, method, varht, alpha, nu, random, skip.iter)

sspreg91(s, r, q, y, cov, method, alpha, varht)
mspreg91(s, r, id.basis, y, cov, method, alpha, varht, skip.iter)

sspngreg(family, s, r, q, y, wt, offset, alpha, nu, random)
mspngreg(family, s, r, id.basis, y, wt, offset, alpha, nu, random, skip.iter)
ngreg(dc, family, sr, q, y, wt, offset, nu, alpha)

regaux(s, r, q, nlambda, fit)

ngreg.proj(dc, family, sr, q, y0, wt, offset, nu)

Arguments

family	Description of the error distribution. Supported are exponential families "binomial", "poisson", "Gamma", and "nbinomial". Also supported are accelerated life model families "weibull", "lognorm", and "loglogis".
s	Unpenalized terms evaluated at data points.
r	Basis of penalized terms evaluated at data points.
q	Penalty matrix.
id.basis	Index of observations to be used as "knots."
y	Response vector.
wt	Model weights.
cov	Input for covariance function for correlated data.
offset	Model offset.
method	"v" for GCV, "m" for GML, or "u" for Mallows' CL.
alpha	Parameter modifying GCV or Mallows' CL scores for smoothing parameter selection.
nu	Optional argument for future support of nbinomial, weibull, lognorm, and loglogis families.
varht	External variance estimate needed for method="u".
random	Input for parametric random effects in nonparametric mixed-effect models.
skip.iter	Flag indicating whether to use initial values of theta and skip theta iteration.
nlambda	Smoothing parameter in effect.
fit	Fitted model.
dc	Coefficients of fits.
sr	cbind(s,r).
y0	Components of the fit to be projected.

Details

sspreg1 is used by ssanova to compute regression estimates with a single smoothing parameter. mspreg1 is used by ssanova to compute regression estimates with multiple smoothing parameters.

ssngpreg is used by gssanova to compute non-Gaussian regression estimates with a single smoothing parameter. mspngreg is used by gssanova to compute non-Gaussian regression estimates with multiple smoothing parameters. ngreg is used by ssngpreg and mspngreg to perform Newton iteration with fixed smoothing parameters and to calculate cross-validation scores on return.

regaux is used by sspreg1, mspreg1, ssngpreg, and mspngreg to obtain auxiliary information needed by predict.ssanova for standard error calculation.

ngreg.proj is used by project.gssanova to calculate the Kullback-Leibler projection for non-Gaussian regression.
