...th (edf), but (as far as I understand) there is no information on the proportion of variance explained. One alternative may be to fit alternative models without each term, and calculate the reduction in deviance. For example: m1=gam(y~s(x1) + s(x2)) # Full model m2=gam(y~s(x2)) m3=gam(y~s(x1)) ddev1=deviance(m1)-deviance(m2) ddev2=deviance(m1)-deviance(m3) Here, ddev1 would measure the relative proportion of the variability in y explained by x1, and ddev2 would do the same for x2. Does this sound like an appropriate approach? Julian Julian Burgos FAR lab University of Washington
