Are GAMs supported by statistics toolbox?

Are GAMs (Generalized Additive Models) supported by Matlab statistics toolbox? I could only find the BGAM package but as I understand it is not part of an official toolbox. thanks

Hi Dimitrios,

Generalised Additive Models are currently not supported in Statistics Toolbox. I guess you are referring to this link on BGAM package:

http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/30145-boosted-generalized-additive-models--bgam--package

Yes, this is not part of the Statistics Toolbox.

thanks. Is there GAM support by any other MATLAB toolbox?

With the recent R2021a release, support for GAM has been added to the Statistics and Machine Learning toolbox. See GAM for classification, and a similar page exists for applying GAM to regression.
