[R] comparing fit of cubic spline

Thomas Reed

2007-05-21

Replies:

I want to compare the fit of a quadratic model to continuous data, with that
of a cubic spline fit. Is there a way of computing AIC from for e.g. a GAM
with a smoothing spine, and comparing this to AIC from a quadratic model?



Cheers
