You will require a recent version of R — ideally the latest 3.4.2 release — plus an R-aware edit in which to write scripts and run code, for which I recommend RStudio. You'll also need a recent version of the mgcv package.
We'll be using the mgcv package for fitting GAMs; make sure you have the latest version installed!
Packages required:
- mgcv
- gamair
You can install these packages using
install.packages(c('mgcv', 'gamair'))
