In this video presentation, we’ll unpack GAMs as an extension of generalized linear models, learn about the role of splines in these models, and explore the many choices available to define and fit ...

Generalized additive models (GAMs) are commonly used in ecological research for their ability to model complex nonlinear relationships. However, assessing predictor importance in the presence of ...

1. The population size of seabirds is often difficult to estimate from surveys at breeding colonies because of factors such as burrow nesting and nocturnal breeding. The reliability of alternative ...
