[R] High concurvity/ collinearity between time and temperature in GAM predicting deaths but low ACF. Does this matter?

Dear Jade

It seems to me that there are several issues here.

1 - if you fit a separate parameter for each heaping day you efectively 
remove them from the model altogether. If they do carry meaningful 
information then that is undesirable.

2 - if the reason that there ae so many 15s is because people state, 
"Oh, it was in July" and either they or the interviewere impute 15 
because it si the month mid-point then it begins to look as though 
attempting to use daily data is fraught with problems and monthly might 
be better.

3 - if you fit a binary heap variable which is zero except for the 15 of 
the month and 1 for the 15 then you are taking out any general overall 
tendency to report 15 but you are allowing for the possibility that the 
relative size of heaping days can vary during the study period.

I am not an expert on this sort of model, that is Simon clearly, but it 
seems to me that, as usual, we have a mix of statistical and scientific 
questions here and you may need to rethink your sceientific model in the 
light of the issue with your data.
