amer-class {amer}R Documentation

Additive Mixed Model class

Description

The "amer"-class represents additive or generalized additive mixed-effects models. It extends the "mer"-class.

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls to the amer function.

Slots

The class "amer" extends the mer-class. It has only one additional slot:

smooths:
a ist with one entry for each smooth term in the model. Each entry contains the term in the model formula used to generate the spline basis, with attributes indGrp, indPen, indUnpen, indConst giving the respective indices of the variance components, random effects, (non-constant) fixed effects and constant fixed effects (intercept, factor level effects) associated with the smooth

Methods

getF for extracting fitted or predicted function values of the smooth terms.
