gam, what is the function(s)
5 messages · Bert Gunter, David Winsemius, Simon Wood +1 more
There is an extensive list of references given in ?gam, including an R-news article and Simon Woods's (gam's author) website. Would that not be the logical place to start? -- Bert

Hello,
I'd like to understand 'what' is predicting the response for library(mgcv)
gam?
For example:
library(mgcv)
fit <- gam(y~s(x),data=as.data.frame(l_yx),family=binomial)
xx <- seq(min(l_yx[,2]),max(l_yx[,2]),len=101)
plot(xx,predict(fit,data.frame(x=xx),type="response"),type="l")
I want to see the generalized function(s) used to predict the response that
is plotted above. In other words, f(x) = {[what?]}. I'm new to gam and
relatively new to R. I did read ?gam, but I didn't see what I wanted.
Thanks,
Ben

If you are using the help pages to teach yourself about a package you cannot stop at just reading what you might think to be the core function's help page. You need to follow the links that are at the bottom of that page just before the examples. In this case you clearly need to read gamObject and mgcv-package.
