Questions tagged [concurvity]
Concurvity refers to the nonlinear dependencies among covariates in an additive model, and is related to the concept of collinearity among predictors in a linear model. This tag should be used when a question is related to (multi)collinearity in the predictors of a model where the model contains smooth functions of covariates such as generalized additive models.

interpretation of estimate concurvity vs worst concurvity in GAMs
I was wondering if there is someone who could explain (in conceptual terms) how to
interpret estimate concurvity in a GAM implemented with mgcv and how
it differs from worst concurvity (as obtained ...

High concurvity/ collinearity between time and temperature in GAM predicting deaths but low ACF. Does this matter?
I have problems with concurvity in my thesis research, and don't have access to a statistician who works with time series, GAMs or R. I'd be very grateful for any (partial) answer, however short. I'll ...

assessing impact of concurvity in GAM using time series of weather and mortality data
I have some questions about concurvity in a GAM using time series weather and mortality data (for details and model output see below). I'd be really appreciative of some help as most questions about ...

How to interpret concurvity and wiggliness induced by low or high K knots in GAM models
Two questions: 1. Concurvity for factors =1, is this normal? 2. How do you interpret a partial effect when the effect is linear and lines for confidence intervals are pinched at 0?
Is it okay for ...

GAM with the same variable in both fixed and random
I have a dataset collected over multiple years, with many samples collected per year. The samples are assumed be random within year (collected over a short period of time, over a large area, in a ...

High concurvity with random effect terms in generalized additive mixed effects models GAMM
I have a quick question concerning concurvity in a generalized additive mixed effects model. There are wonderful aids for identifying concurvity for GAMs not containing random effects. However, I have ...

GAM: Do shrinkage smooth splines also address for concurvity?
I have a gam model with automatic predictor selection based on cubic splines (bs = cr) and SELECT == T or shrinkage cubic splines (bs = cs) and SELECT == F.
Now I'm wondering if predictors affected ...

Is it okay to ignore concurvity on our GAM model?
I'm trying to model a relationship between marine debris concentration (item/m^2) with several covariates using GAM with MGCV R package. I found that the concurvity values at worst-case scenario are ...

GAM concurvity measures greater than 1
I am currently using a gam modelling approach to describe the effects of several variables (es_sum, nat_sum, sect_sum, and prop_spec) on another variable (btwn). Each of es_sum, nat_sum, sect_sum, and ...

Variance components of a penalized spatial GAM have very large confidence intervals
I am working through a spatial GAM example in one of Simon Wood's lectures (found here), and ran into some problems surrounding concurvity and penalization. I've read a number of other posts on ...

When using GAMs, how much concurvity is too much?
Is there a rule of thumb for excessive concurvity? For example, I've heard that a VIF of $>10$ suggests that multicollinearity may be a problem (e.g., in this CV answer), but I cannot find a ...

concurvity in negative binomial GAM
I'm using the concurvity function to check for concurvity in my model - a negative binomial GAM using the mgcv package in R. The output I get when comparing to the rest of the model (ie full=TRUE) ...
