[R] GAM Penalised Splines - Intercept

2013-04-23 Thread Lucas Holland
Hey all, I'm using the gam() function inside the mgcv package to fit a penalised spline to some data. However, I don't quite understand what exactly the intercept it includes by default is / how to interpret it. Ideally I'd like to understand what the intercept is in terms of the B-Spline
