v0.8.0
New Features
- cyclic p-splines: you can now train models with periodic features by using the
'cp'
basis like so:
GAM(s(0, basis='cp'))
- factor smooths now allow dummy coding, via:
GAM(f(0, coding='dummy'))
Models using this coding scheme are more statistically interpretable , and computationally less expensive than those using one-hot encodings.
Bug Fixes
- models can mix constrained terms and un-constrained tensor-terms
- tensor terms can be constrained
