Special Smooths in BAMLSS Formulae

This is a simple wrapper function to define special smooth terms in BAMLSS formulae. The function calls the smooth term constructor function s. The return value of s is only slightly modified, such that function bamlss.frame identifies this term as a special term and uses the appropriate (internal) infrastructures.

This structure is useful when the model term structure is, e.g., not a linear combination of a design matrix and coefficients. See the example section of function bfit on how to use this setup.

s2(...)

Arguments

…	Arguments passed to function s.

Value

Slightly modified return value of function s.

Examples

print(names(s(x)))
#>  [1] "term"    "bs.dim"  "fixed"   "dim"     "p.order" "by"      "label"  
#>  [8] "xt"      "id"      "sp"     
print(names(s2(x)))
#>  [1] "term"    "bs.dim"  "fixed"   "dim"     "p.order" "by"      "label"  
#>  [8] "xt"      "id"      "sp"      "special"
