Titel:
*GAMs, GAMMs and other penalized GLMs with mgcv in R*

Abstract:
Generalized additive models (GAM) are generalized linear models where 
the linear predictor depends on smooth functions of covariates, and the 
smooth  functions are the targets of inference. Generalized additive 
mixed models (GAMM) are the equivalent generalization of GLMMs. This 
talk will briefly outline the theoretical framework that allows reliable 
and efficient estimation and inference with such models in the R package 
mgcv, making the link between penalized likelihood, Bayesian and mixed 
model approaches. The types of smooth function that can be used as model
components will then be illustrated, followed by examples illustrating
the diverse range of models that fall within the scope of penalized GLMs.
