These are probably too hard and too narrow, but now the topic is up:
- getting predictions to work on new data in cases where model depends
on data set (notably regressions splines with auto knot placement)
- in lme, we can predict at level K would be nice to get SE of
prediction (this also takes levels, extending distinction between
confidence and tolerance intervals)
- conditional tolerance in lme (much too hard I suspect)
- in model.tables.aov, SE's for type="means" are sorely missed.
This is not very hard, but maybe too small (although one will have to
study issues of contrasts and internals of an lm object rather
carefully):
- extend pairwise.t.test to take a linear model and a factor in the
model as argument.
