Re: [R] High concurvity/ collinearity between time and temperature in GAM predicting deaths but low ACF. Does this matter?

Dear Jade It seems to me that there are several issues here. 1 - if you fit a separate parameter for each heaping day you efectively remove them from the model altogether. If they do carry meaningful information then that is undesirable. 2 - if the reason that there ae so many 15s is because

Hi Michael, I don't think my reply to your email came through to the list, so am resending (see below). Problems with subscription have now hopefully been resolved. Apologies if this is a double posting! On Thu, 9 Jun 2022 at 15:27, jade.sho...@googlemail.com wrote: > > Hi Michael, > > Thanks fo

Dear Jade Do you really need to fit a separate parameter for each heaping day? Can you not just make it a binary predictor or a categorical one with fewer levels, perhaps 14 (for heaping in each year) or 12 (for each calendar month). I have no idea whether that would help but it seems worth a

I would not worry too much about high concurvity between variables like temperature and time. This just reflects the fact that temperature has a strong temporal pattern. I would also not be too worried about the low p-values on the k check. The check only looks for pattern in the residuals whe

Subject: [R] High concurvity/ collinearity between time and temperature in GAM predicting deaths but low ACF. Does this matter? [External Email] Hello everyone, A few days ago I asked a question about concurvity in a GAM (the anologue of collinearity in a GLM) implemented in mgcv. I think my
