Get fitted effects from a model with an rcs term

I would like to get fitted values from a linear model that includes a restricted cubic spline term fit via rms::rcs(), to pass into an effects plot. The issue is that the package I typically use to get fitted values, effects, throws an error when I try to pass a model with an rcs term.



Here's a minimal reprex:



library(rms)
library(effects)
mod <- lm(Sepal.Length ~ rcs(Sepal.Width, 3), iris)
Effect("Sepal.Width", mod)
##Error in rcspline.eval(x, nk = nknots, inclx = TRUE, pc = pc, fractied = fractied) : knots not specified, and < 6 non-missing observations


I have tried debugging this error, but I can't arrive at how rcspline.eval() got 6+ NAs in x and non-specified nknots. How do I deal with this error? Alternatively, is there another package out there that can get fitted effects from a model with an rcs term?

  • I would have expected that Predict or predict would give you what you expect. The rms planet is not in orbit around the effects center of gravity.

  • Can you give an example as an answer? I looked into predict but couldn't wrap my head around how to make it work.

Users of the rms environment will need to use the specialized functions that support its activities:



 library(rms)
ddist <- datadist(iris) # need both datadist and options
options(datadist='ddist')
mod <- ols(Sepal.Length ~ rcs(Sepal.Width, 3), iris) # need ols rather than lm
plot( Predict(mod, Sepal.Width)) # Predict can be done in 2 or 3 dimension
# gives a lattice output
