Generalized Additive Models (GAM) are non-parametric models that add smoother to the data. In this exercise, we will look at GAMs using cubic spline using the mgcv package. Data-sets used can be downloaded here. The data-set is the experiment result of grassland richness over time in the Yellowstone National Park (Skkink et al. 2007). […]
