Bayesian Generalized additive model/Evidence
Method evidence record

Bayesian Generalized additive model

Bayesian Generalized Additive Models extend the frequentist GAM framework by placing prior distributions over the smooth functions and any additional model parameters. This yields full posterior distributions over each smooth effect, enabling principled uncertainty quantification, automatic smoothness selection via hyperpriors, and seamless integration with hierarchical or mixed-effects structures.
