[R] Grasper model error

[Simon Wood]

I'm not too familiar with using grasp, but the error is generated from the 
`mgcv' package while setting up a GAM. The default smooths used for `s' terms 
by mgcv::gam are thin plate regression splines based on an `eigen 
approximation' to full thin plate splines. These have some nice properties 
but become expensive to set up for data sets with more than a few thousand 
points, in which case it is better to use a different basis for smooths of 
one variable, e.g.
s(x,bs="cr")
or for smooths of several variables use either tensor product smooths, e.g.
te(x,z)
or use the `knots' argument to `gam' in the way shown at the end of the 
examples in the `gam' help file.
