Re: [R] retrieving partial residuals of gam fit (mgcv)

The partial residuals for a smooth term are just the whole model residuals + the corresponding estimate of the smooth term. You can use predict to access the latter and compute them quite easily. For example... set.seed(0) ## simulate some data... dat <- gamSim(1,n=400,dist="normal",sc

[R] retrieving partial residuals of gam fit (mgcv)

Dear list, does anybody know whether there is a way to easily retrieve the so called "partial residuals" of a gam fit with package mgcv? The partial residuals are the residuals you would get if you would "leave out" a particular predictor and are the dots in the plots created by plot(gam.obje
