Significance and linearity (I)

It's time for you to summarize a model and interpret the output.

After summarizing the model, you will answer the following question:

Which smooth term in this model is significant and linear?

In this chapter, you will learn how Generalized additive models work and how to use flexible, nonlinear functions to model data without over-fitting. You will learn to use the gam() function in the mgcv package, and how to build multivariate models that mix nonlinear, linear, and categorical effects to data.

Exercise 1: Introduction Exercise 2: Motorcycle crash data: linear approach Exercise 3: Motorcycle crash data: non-linear approach Exercise 4: Parts of non-linear function Exercise 5: Basis functions and smoothing Exercise 6: Setting complexity of the motorcycle model Exercise 7: Using smoothing parameters to avoid overfitting Exercise 8: Complexity and smoothing together Exercise 9: Multivariate GAMs Exercise 10: Multivariate GAMs of auto performance Exercise 11: Adding categorical to the auto performance model Exercise 12: Category-level smooths for different auto types

In this chapter, you will take a closer look at the models you fit in chapter 1 and learn how to interpret and explain them. You will learn how to make plots that show how different variables affect model outcomes. Then you will diagnose problems in models arising from under-fitting the data or hidden relationships between variables, and how to iteratively fix those problems and get better results.

In this chapter, you will extend the types of models you can fit to those with interactions of multiple variables. You will fit models of geospatial data by using these interactions to model complex surfaces, and visualize those surfaces in 3D. Then you will learn about interactions between smooth and categorical variables, and how to model interactions between very different variables like space and time.

In the first three chapters, you used GAMs for regression of continuous outcomes. In this chapter, you will use GAMs for classification. You will build logistic GAMs to predict binary outcomes like customer purchasing behavior, learn to visualize this new type of model, make predictions, and learn how to explain the variables that influence each prediction.
