S+ style implementation of GAM for R?

2 messages · Douglas Beare, Simon Wood

Hi,
I've got the R library "mgcv" for GAM written by Simon Wood which works well
in many instances.  However, over the years I
got attached to the S+ implementation of GAM which allows loess smoothing in
more than 1 dimension as well as spline smoothing.
Has anyone ported the S+ GAM library to R?

Doug Beare.

- I've not come across a port (but note that mgcv does allow
multidimensional smooths, albeit spline based and not loess). 
best, Simon
