GAM - Splines - Intro (Polynomials, Piecewise Polynomials, Splines)

In this video, we introduce splines, a popular method for fitting nonlinear functions in additive models and GAMs. Splines are a compromise between global and piecewise polynomials, they allow for the function to break at several locations called "knots", which unite different parts of the curve.

Loving the spline / GAM series, thank you!
