Hello S-users,

I am attempting to select a model using the following:

mkt.keep<-function(object,AIC) 
list(df.resid=object$df.resid,deviance=object$deviance,term=as.character  
(object$formula)[3],AIC=AIC)

I then use step.gam, specifying a backward direction and keep= the above 
function.

I have 28 variables specified in the initial fit and am investigating the 
best model with potentially smoothed versions of each variable. When I 
attempt to run the process I receive the following error:

Error in 1:ll: Result too long

I do not receive this error when I am fitting fewer variables. Are 
adjustments available to avoid this error. Does anyone have a "better" 
strategy?
