summary() on a
gam object
gam object.
summary.gam(object, dispersion)
gam object.
This is a method for the function
summary() for objects inheriting from class
gam.
See
summary or
summary.glm for the general behavior of this function.
Since GAM functions concentrate on terms rather than individual coefficients, coefficients are not returned by
summary.gam(). Instead an
anova object is returned that summarizes the effects of the nonparametric components. See
anova.gam for more details.
