Fitting a generalized additive model to data

Generalized Additive Model (GAM), which is used to fit generalized additive models, can be viewed as a semiparametric extension of GLM. While GLM holds the assumption that there is a linear relationship between dependent and independent variables, GAM fits the model on account of the local behavior of data. As a result, GAM has the ability to deal with highly nonlinear relationships between dependent and independent variables. In the following recipe, we will introduce how to fit regression using a generalized additive model.
