shorter way of coding
That's not a reproducible example. Paul suggested a list of formulas, but I recommended creating a list of y variables. In your attempt, you didn't include the y in the name of the dependent variable; that's probably why it doesn't work. Look at this:
y.list <- list(y1=runif(10), y2 <- runif(10), y3 <- runif(10)) x1 <- 1:10 lapply(y.list, function(y)lm(y ~ x1))
$y1
Call:
lm(formula = y ~ x1)
Coefficients:
(Intercept) x1
0.56392 -0.02586
[[2]]
Call:
lm(formula = y ~ x1)
Coefficients:
(Intercept) x1
0.66375 -0.03519
[[3]]
Call:
lm(formula = y ~ x1)
Coefficients:
(Intercept) x1
0.29106 0.02845

Dear Paul and Sarah
Thanks for the suggestion. I have provided my data here in to make the results reproducable. I am actually trying to do interpoliation of climate data where x1 and x2 are my latitude and longitude and sum64-sum 368 are my rainfall observations which I need to regress against x1 and x2. In the previous I was trying to get my story clear so I did not go into details.
Now when I run your suggestion below, I get the following error message. Is there anything in your instruction that I did not get right?
many thanks

listOfForumlas = paste(1:300, "~s(x1,x2, k=100)")
listofResults = lapply(listOfForumlas, function(f) {
? ?b<-gam(as.formula(f),data=dat)
? ?vis.gam(b)
? ?fitted(b)
?})
Error in model.frame.default(formula = 1 ~ 1 + x1+ x2, data = dat, ?:
?variable lengths differ (found for 'x1')

Dear R users,
I am using the code below to generate a fitted value of b. I have about 300 different values for for y (y1, y2, ...y300) which means I will have to write the code below 300 times to generate the 300 different fitted values for y. Is there a short way of doing that ?
Many thanks in advance
Mintewab
library(mgcv)
dat <- read.table("e:/minti's laptop/C/GBG/allround_survey/rainfallGPS.csv", header=T, sep=",")

Hi Mintewab,
Something along these lines should work:
listOfForumlas = paste(1:300, "~s(x1, x2, k=100)")
listofResults = lapply(listOfForumlas, function(f) {
? ?b<-gam(as.formula(f),data=dat)
? ?vis.gam(b)
? ?fitted(b)
?})
But as Sarah already commented, without a reproducible piece of example
code we cannot present any working solutions.
cheers,
Paul
