Other models, such as neural networks, are quite flexible, but very difficult to interpret. Generalized additive models (GAMs) are a nice balance between flexibility and interpretability. In this ...

OBJECTIVE We investigate the formal application of smooth methods implemented via generalized additive models (GAMs) to the analysis of fertility histories. We also determine whether and where GAMs ...
