Hello everybody!
I would like to fit a gam()-model WITHOUT the intercept term. I tried to
do it with -1 at the end of the formular, but it does not work.
e.g.
object1<-gam(EVENT ~
SP1INT + s(SP1MON) +
SP2INT + s(SP2MON) +
SP3INT + s(SP3MON) -1,
family=binomial, data=multspel)
this is a multiple spell discrete time survival analysis and I am trying
to fit a different smoothed hazard function to each spell. So each spell
has it's own intercept - but I cannot remove the overall intercept term!
Fitting a model with and without (like above) intercept yields exactly the
same results!!
Do I do something wrong here? Is there a way to remove the intercept from
gam()-models?
any comment is appreciated!
thanks a lot,
