Hi all,
I am applying a Presence/absence Generalized additive model to model the
distribution of marine algae species in R. I have found that log transforming
the environmental variables improves the explained deviance of the model
considerably. While log transforming is common practice in GLM, I have been
unable to find any papers where this is performed in a GAM. Im wondering
whether this breaks any of the rules of GAMs and is statistically acceptable?
Thanks all
Peter
