Software and documentation for the smartpred library by

Thomas Yee (yee@stat.auckland.ac.nz) and 
Trevor Hastie (hastie@stat.Stanford.EDU).

S-PLUS 6.x and S-PLUS 2000 for Windows
======================================

We haven't set this up as a library yet, so you will just have
to source() it, e.g., source("smart60.q") or source("smart2000.q").


R 1.5.x and higher 
==================

If you are root you can install smartpred as a global library by, e.g.,

R CMD INSTALL smartpred

Otherwise, you have to create a private library by, e.g.,

R CMD INSTALL -l path/to/library smartpred

For example, for a private library, type:

R CMD INSTALL -l ./myRlibs smartpred

This will install the smartpred library in the directory myRlibs.
It will be in the subdirectory myRlibs/smartpred.

Now create (or edit) a file called .Renviron in your home directory and
add the line

R_LIBS=/home/yee/myRlibs

to it (change the path!).
Then you can make use of the smartpred library by typing

R
library(splines)
library(smartpred)

For some information type

library(help=smartpred)

Nb. If you use bs() or ns() you should first type "library(splines)"
before "library(smartpred)"


This will install the smartpred library in the directory
myRlibs. However, some of the documentation files will not be
transfered, e.g., DummiesGuide.txt.
