new.name {mgcv} | R Documentation |
gamm
works by transforming a GAMM into something
that can be estimated by lme
, but this involves creating new
variables, the names of which should not clash with the names of other
variables on which the model depends. This simple service routine checks a
suggested name against a list of those in use, and if neccesary modifies it
so that there is no clash.
