Generalised additive models (GAMs): an introduction – Environmental Computing:

Let’s start with a famous tweet by one Gavin Simpson, which amounts to:

1. GAMs are just GLMs
2. GAMs fit wiggly terms
3. use + {{EJS1-8}} not {{EJS1-9}} in your syntax
4. use {{EJS1-10}}
5. always look at {{EJS1-11}}

And some notes on using GAMs to manage time series data
