This question is related to: Selecting Percentile curves using gamlss::lms in R
I can get centile curve from following data and code:
age = sample(5:15, 500, replace=T)
yvar = rnorm(500, age, 20)
mydata = data.frame(age, yvar)
head(mydata)
age yvar
1 12 13.12974
2 14 -18.97290
3 10 42.11045
4 12 27.89088
5 11 48.03861
6 5 24.68591
h = lms(yvar, age , data=mydata, n.cyc=30)
centiles(h,xvar=mydata$age, cent=c(90), points=FALSE)
How can I now get yvar on the curve for each of x value (5:15) which would represent 90th percentiles for data after smoothening?
I tried to read help pages and found fitted(h) and fv(h) to get fitted values for entire data. But how to get values for each age level at 90th centile curve level? Thanks for your help.
Edit: Following figure show what I need:
I tried following but it is correct since value are incorrect:
mydata$fitted = fitted(h)
aggregate(fitted~age, mydata, function(x) quantile(x,.9))
age fitted
1 5 6.459680
2 6 6.280579
3 7 6.290599
4 8 6.556999
5 9 7.048602
6 10 7.817276
7 11 8.931219
8 12 10.388048
9 13 12.138104
10 14 14.106250
11 15 16.125688
The values are very different from 90th quantile directly from data:
> aggregate(yvar~age, mydata, function(x) quantile(x,.9))
age yvar
1 5 39.22938
2 6 35.69294
3 7 25.40390
4 8 26.20388
5 9 29.07670
6 10 32.43151
7 11 24.96861
8 12 37.98292
9 13 28.28686
10 14 43.33678
11 15 44.46269
