Examples

print("Additive Model - Example 7.5")
require(splines)
attach(dewpoint)   
ds.lm <- lm(dewpt ~ bs(maxtemp,5) + bs(mintemp,5), data=dewpoint)
ds.fit <-predict(ds.lm, type="terms", se=TRUE)
oldpar <- par(mfrow=c(1,2))
plot(maxtemp, ds.fit$fit[,1], xlab="Maximum temperature",
     ylab="Change from dewpoint mean",type="n")
lines(maxtemp,ds.fit$fit[,1])
lines(maxtemp,ds.fit$fit[,1]-2*ds.fit$se[,1],lty=2)
lines(maxtemp,ds.fit$fit[,1]+2*ds.fit$se[,1],lty=2)
plot(mintemp,ds.fit$fit[,2],xlab="Minimum temperature",
     ylab="Change from dewpoint mean",type="n")
ord<-order(mintemp)
