smooth_dt: Return smooth predictions, using generalized additive model

In lmullany/rawcoviddata: Provides function for pulling publicly available covid data

Return smooth predictions, using generalized additive model

Description

Function returns the predictions from a simple generalized additive model that uses natural cubic splines to regress y on splines of x, with k knots, given the family

Usage

smooth_dt(x, y, k, family = c("poisson", "gaussian"))

Arguments

x	vector of x values
y	vector of y values
k	integer number of knots
family	string indicating family, must be either "poisson" (default) or "gaussian"

Value

vector of smoothed predictions

Examples

smooth_dt(x,y,10,"poisson")
