Calculation of exact derivatives is generally faster than approximating them by finite differencing, as well as generally improving the reliability of GCV/UBRE/AIC/REML score minimization. </p> <p>The approach is to run the P-IRLS to convergence, and only then to iterate for first and second derivatives. </p> <p>Not normally called directly, but rather service routines for <code><a href="gam.html">gam</a></code>. </p> <h3>Usage</h3> <pre> gam.fit3(x, y, sp, Eb ,UrS=list(), weights = rep(1, nobs), start = NULL, etastart = NULL, mustart = NULL, offset = rep(0, nobs), U1 = diag(ncol(x)), Mp = -1, family = gaussian(), control = gam.control(), intercept = TRUE,deriv=2,gamma=1,scale=1, printWarn=TRUE,scoreType="REML",null.coef=rep(0,ncol(x)), pearson.extra=0,dev.extra=0,n.true=-1,Sl=NULL,...) </pre> <h3>Arguments</h3> <table summary="R argblock"> <tr valign="top"><td><code>x</code></td> <td> <p>The model matrix for the GAM (or any penalized GLM).</p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>y</code></td> <td> <p>The response variable.</p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>sp</code></td> <td> <p>The log smoothing parameters.</p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>Eb</code></td> <td> <p>A balanced version of the total penalty matrix: usd for numerical rank determination.</p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>UrS</code></td> <td> <p>List of square root penalties premultiplied by transpose of orthogonal basis for the total penalty.</p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>weights</code></td> <td> <p>prior weights for fitting.</p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>start</code></td> <td> <p>optional starting parameter guesses.</p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>etastart</code></td> <td> <p>optional starting values for the linear predictor.</p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>mustart</code></td> <td> <p>optional starting values for the mean.</p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>offset</code></td> <td> <p>the model offset</p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>U1</code></td> <td> <p>An orthogonal basis for the range space of the penalty — required for ML smoothness estimation only.</p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>Mp</code></td> <td> <p>The dimension of the total penalty null space — required for ML smoothness estimation only.</p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>family</code></td> <td> <p>the family - actually this routine would never be called with <code>gaussian()</code></p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>control</code></td> <td> <p>control list as returned from <code><a href="../../stats/html/glm.control.html">glm.control</a></code></p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>intercept</code></td> <td> <p>does the model have and intercept, <code>TRUE</code> or <code>FALSE</code></p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>deriv</code></td> <td> <p> Should derivatives of the GCV and UBRE/AIC scores be calculated? 0, 1 or 2, indicating the maximum order of differentiation to apply.</p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>gamma</code></td> <td> <p>The weight given to each degree of freedom in the GCV and UBRE scores can be varied (usually increased) using this parameter.</p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>scale</code></td> <td> <p>The scale parameter - needed for the UBRE/AIC score.</p> </td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><code>printWarn</code></td> <td> <p>Set to <code>FALSE</code> to suppress some warnings.

(1986), and is here termed ‘outer’ iteration. </p> <p>Note that use of non-standard families with this routine requires modification of the families as described in <code><a href="fix.family.link.html">fix.family.link</a></code>. </p> <h3>Author(s)</h3> <p> Simon N.
