Examining overall concurvity in auto data
Let's take a look at concurvity in the fuel efficiency model variables.
After checking the overall concurvity of mod
, answer the following question:
Which smooth is least pre-determined by all the other variables?

Nonlinear Modeling with Generalized Additive Models (GAMs) in R
Hands-on interactive exercise
Have a go at this exercise by completing this sample code.
library(mgcv)
# Fit the model
mod <- gam(hw.mpg ~ s(length) + s(width) + s(height) + s(weight),
data = mpg, method = "REML")
# Check overall concurvity
