scam.check: Some diagnostics for a fitted scam object

In scam: Shape Constrained Additive Models

Some diagnostics for a fitted scam object

Description

Takes a fitted scam object produced by scam() and produces some diagnostic information about the fitting procedure and results. This function is almost the same as gam.check of the mgcv library.

Usage

scam.check(b,rl.col=3,pch=".",... )

Arguments

b	a fitted scam object as produced by scam().
rl.col	color for the reference line on the quantile-quantile plot.
pch	plot character to use for the quantile-quantile plot. 19 is good.
...	extra graphics parameters to pass to plotting functions.

Details

As for mgcv(gam) plots 4 standard diagnostic plots, and some other convergence diagnostics. The printed information relates to the optimization process used to select smoothing parameters.
