Generalized Additive Models: An Introduction with R, Second Edition ISBN-978-1498728331

As the sole introductory book on the subject with a plethora of real-world examples and software implementation, the first edition of this book has become one of the most important sources on generalized additive models (GAMs). It is self-contained, including the required foundation information on generalized linear models (GLMs), linear models, and linear mixed models before offering a fair discussion of the theory and applications of GAMs and related models.
