[R] plotting fitted lme values as a smooth line

I am trying to plot fitted lme values as a smooth line of a graph showing the exponential relationship between temperature and soil respiration. In the plot, the x-axis has temperature, and the y-axis has soil respiration. When I try to add a line showing temperature versus the fitted va

[R] Adjacency matrix of higher order (from winbugs to to R)

Hi everyone, I am trying to find a way to calculate an adjacency matrix from a polygon shapefile to make a CAR model in winbugs, but I would like to vary the order of neihborhood. I used the the spdep package to create an adjacency matrix (in list format) of order 2 and it works

Re: [R] Gradient Boosting Trees with correlated predictors in gbm

In most implementations of boosting, and for that matter, single tree, the first variable wins when there are ties. In randomForest the variables are sampled, and thus not tested in the same order from one node to the next, thus the variables are more likely to "share the glory". Best, Andy Fro
