 Hi ,


I am trying to get the estimate of smooth functions from a gam model
 by in the library(gam). 


What I get by constructing this model below are " edf. values ...and
 p-values" for the smooths functions and intercept. 
 
 model <- gam(y~ s(height)+ s(weight)+s(time)+s(pol))
 
and I also get the smoothing parameters estimation by typing
 coef(model). 

The difficulty I am having is I dont know how to get these estimated
 smooth functions estimates- the realizations of the estimator ? 
 
GAM is used to find such smooth functions estimates                                                        in contrast to estimate
 the
 parameters B in Regression Analysis, isn't it? 

I hope I could explain my trouble clearly,
Thanks,
 Niki
