Hi - How can I 'manually' reproduce the results in 'pred1' below? My attempt is pred_manual, but is not correct. Any help is much appreciated.
library(splines) set.seed(12345) y <- rgamma(1000, shape =0.5) age <- rnorm(1000, 45, 10) glm1 <- glm(y ~ ns(age, 4), family=Gamma(link=log)) dd <- data.frame(age = 16:80) mm <- model.matrix( ~ ns(dd$age, 4)) pred1 <- predict(glm1, dd, type = "response") pred_manual <- exp(coefficients(glm1)[1] * mm[,1] + coefficients(glm1)[2] * mm[,2] + coefficients(glm1)[3] * mm[,3] + coefficients(glm1)[4] * mm[,4] + coefficients(glm1)[5] * mm[,5]) Regards, Axel.
