The smartpred library


The smartpred library consists of some modified existing and new functions to fix a problem relating to modelling functions such as lm and glm. The modified versions now remember the "parameters" of special smartened functions (bs, ns, scale and poly are supplied). We call this "smart" prediction. The parameters are saved on the fitted model object, and are retrieved when predictions are made from the model. Users can easily smarten their own functions - guidelines are given.
