The first edition of this book has established itself as one of the leading references on generalized additive models (GAMs), and the only book on the topic to be introductory in nature with a wealth ...

We express the mean and variance terms in a double-exponential regression model as additive functions of the predictors and use Bayesian variable selection to determine which predictors enter the ...

We propose a two-step estimating procedure for generalized additive partially linear models with clustered data using estimating equations. Our proposed method applies to the case that the number of ...
