Re: [R] mgcv: bam(), error in models with random intercepts and random slopes

Hi Fotis, Thanks for the report, and sending me the data and code (off list). The problem is triggered by 'ctrial' being a (one column) matrix. An immediate fix is data_a$ctrial <- as.numeric(data_a$ctrial) - mgcv 1.8-16 will catch the problem automatically internally. best, Simon On

Re: [R] mgcv: bam(), error in models with random intercepts and random slopes

Any chance you could send me the data and exact code that produces this (I'll only use the data for investigating this issue of course - often data with the predictor replaced by noise will produce the same error, if sending the raw data is a problem)? best, Simon (mgcv maintainer) On

[R] mgcv: bam(), error in models with random intercepts and random slopes

Hi all I am using the bam function of the mgcv package to model behavioral data of a learning experiment. To model individual variation in learning rate, I am testing models with (a) by-participant random intercepts of trial, (b) by-participant random slopes and random intercepts of trial, and
