The code examples involve manually programming some of the models from scratch as well as a good introduction to the R packages nlme, lmer, lme4, mgcv, and a few others I might be forgetting. That is a boon for would-be GAM-users from applied fields such as ecology, who sometimes find themselves plunged into the deep end of statistical modelling (GAMs) without much practice in the shallow end. : While Hastie and Tibshirani's outstanding 1990 research monograph on GAMs is largely responsible for this, there has been a long-standing need for an accessible introductory treatment of the subject that also emphasizes recent penalized regression spline . this is an excellent reference book for a broad audience Christine M.

Generalized Additive Models Cambridge University Press Generalized Linear Models (GLMs) allow many statistical analyses to be extended to important statistical distributions other than the Normal distribution. Introduction to Generalized Additive Models Some models, such as linear regression, are easily interpretable, but inflexible, in that they don't capture many real-world relationships accurately.

You will learn to use the gam () function in the mgcv package, and how to build multivariate models that mix nonlinear, linear, and categorical . Certainly the book covers an introduction to generalized additive models (GAMs), but to get there, it is almost as if Simon has left no stone unturned. A Beginner's Guide to Generalized Additive Models with R is, as the title implies, a practical handbook for the non-statistician. Generalized Additive Models: An Introduction with R. The first edition of this book has established itself as one of the leading references on generalized additive models (GAMs), and the only book on the topic to be introductory in nature with a wealth of practical examples and software implementation. Oddly, Table 5.1 from the 1st edition has been removed from the 2nd, which I consider a poor choice since the table provided a nice summary of the smoothing bases available, along with their advantages and disadvantages. This book modernizes and complements Hastie and Tibshirani's landmark book on the topic."

Generalized Additive Models: an introduction with R, Boca Raton: Chapman & Hall/CRC [4] Wood, S. N. (2004). I am wholeheartedly convinced that this book will find a wide readership and will accompany many researchers and applied scientists when either tipping their toe or diving deeply into the ocean of generalized additive models. Even though he states that QR decomposition format is the usual way in which linear models are fit in practice, he incorrectly deduces that then also greatly facilitates the derivation of the distributional results required for practical modelling. December 24th, 2019 - Generalized Additive Models An Introduction with R Second Edition CRC Press Book The first edition of this book has established itself as one of the leading references on generalized additive models GAMs and the only book on the topic to be introductory in nature with a wealth of practical examples and software implementation It meets the authors aim of providing a fairly full, but concise, theoretical treatment, explaining how the models and methods work. Generalized Additive Models are a very nice and effective way of fitting Linear Models which depends on some smooth and flexible Non linear functions fitted on some predictors to capture Non linear relationships in the data.Best part is that they lead to interpretable Models. Linear Models are considered the Swiss Army Knife of models. This is supplemented by accessible appendices laying out key results in maximum likelihood theory and the matrix algebra required for the theory covered in the book. Great book, great package. The author is careful and clever so that anyone at any level will have new insights from his presentation. ", "With this second edition, it may be safe to say that Simon Wood has made Generalized Additive Models (and its extensions) more accessible to researchers, practitioners, teachers, and students than ever before. Even though he states that QR decomposition format is the usual way in which linear models are fit in practice, he incorrectly deduces that then also greatly facilitates the derivation of the distributional results required for practical modelling. Since then the field has progressed considerably; in particular Wood himself has made a stunning array of major advances. In this module, we will further motivate GAMs, learn the basic mathematics of fitting GAMs, and implementing them on simulated and real data in R. In the ten years since the publication of the first edition, not only the mgcv package, but also the underlying theory have made much progress and it is therefore good to see the second edition reflecting both developments and comprising a lot of new and fascinating material. I think the distributions modeled have also been expanded, with considerable discussion of the available families including exponential and Cox proportional hazards (even a discussion of time-dependent covariates). Like his code, Simon writes his textbook in an uncompromising, sensible, and approachable way. The first edition of this book has established itself as one of the leading references on generalized additive models (GAMs), and the only book on the topic to be introductory in nature with a wealth of practical examples and software implementation. The central change is that linear mixed models theory is now already discussed very early within the second chapter. The generous use of graphs and plots helps visualization and enhances understanding. GAMs are an extremely powerful method for spatial modeling. Item Weight 25.7 Oz Additional Product Features Lc Classification Number GAMs through mgcv have changed my modeling life, and this book is a fantastic manual enabling that enough theory when I want to dig in deep to a particular facet, readable and including enough examples to help me spin up quickly for practical use, when I dont need the full technical details, and broad enough to capture my specialized use cases outside of whats typically presented in online tutorials.

It presents theory and many examples, complete with R code. 13.2 Generalized Additive Models In the development of generalized linear models, we use the link function g to relate the conditional mean (x) to the linear predictor (x). I was delighted to see the presentation of GAMs uses penalized splines - the author sorts through the clutter and presents a well-chosen toolbox.
