  3. Nonlinear Modeling with Generalized Additive Models (GAMs) in R

Exercise

Complexity and smoothing together

The number of basis functions and the smoothing parameters interact to control the wiggliness of a smooth function. Here you will see how changing both together affects model behavior.

Instructions

100 XP
  • Fit a GAM models to the mcycle data with accel as a smooth function of times with 50 basis functions and a smoothing parameter of 0.0001.
  • Visualize the model.
