| GAMs or GAMMs are used to fit and plot time varying functions to responses. They can include interaction terms to compare curves across different groups (e.g. males and females) with R^2 used as means of assessing the degree of fit (interpreted as in linear regression). GAMs and GAMMs can be fitted in R using the mgcv procedure. McKeown and Sneddon (2014) describe and illustrate GAMs and GAMMs with accompanying R code using the mgcv procedure. | GAMs or GAMMs are used to fit and plot a combination of time varying functions such as polynomials to responses. More than one function can be used in the same model of a response with one function fitted to the response over one time period and another function used over another time period with the functions possibly linked at a single time point, known as a knot.
