Greetings
I am facing difficulties in prediction on using Trevor
Hasties GAM package.
How can one interpret the response from predict.gam?
Documentation on the type-parameter:
The default (link) produces predictions on the scale of the
additive
predictors, ...
If "response" is selected, the predictions are on the scale of the
response, and are monotone trans-formations of the additive
predictors,
using the inverse link function.
Does "on the scale of the response" ammount to residals?
All I want to do is get the predicted response from running
my GAM model
on new data. The results given are way off, but I am not able
to dechipher
the documentation, nor use any scale information.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
All the best
Jon Egil Strand
