Intro to GAMs : learning nonlinear curves from data

Hydrid at Concordia University

Language of the workshop: FR & EN

Ecologists often have data divided into groups, and within each group there are many predictors that might be important. But how to these predictors impact the outcome? Are their effects nonlinear? If you have a time series, are there cycles or another kind of complex dynamic? What about space?

GAMs are a great way to learn curving lines from data. In this workshop, offered by Andrew MacDonald, you’ll learn some basics of how GAMs work, how to think about them, and practice fitting them using the R package mgcv.
